The end of the Indy car series at TWS

edit

In 1973, Mario Andretti set a world closed course lap record of 214.158 mph at TWS.

In one race shortly before the formation of CART, there was a protest about the rules at TWS. Many of the USAC drivers ran their qualifying laps at quite slow speeds. The slowest was something like 80 mph. I probably still have a press copy of the starting lineup for that race with the qualifying times but it might take a while to find it if there is any interest in that.

Also, the Willie Nelson 1974 4th of July Picnic was held at TWS.

Source for fastest race lap of IndyCar?

It cannot be found under the specified link [1]. Fastest race lap data is not available for IndyCar races prior to 1992. --Mark McWire (talk) 00:49, 6 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
