It was Texas World Speedway. Super high banking with super high speeds. No one had EVER run an open-wheeled racer there before, and apparently little to no testing of any kind had been done before the first race weekend (this was CART, not IRL). During practice, many of the drivers complained of dizziness from having to sustain 2-3G for nearly the entire lap. CART called off the race, sent everyone home, and lawsuits ensued. Lots of fans had still showed up by that point. One could say more testing prior to the race weekend should have happened, but new tracks debut with little to no testing all the time, so it was hardly unprecedented.
DC wasn't the only one that wanted to race. Most of the drivers wanted to race. Most of the teams wanted to race. All of them recognized we can't turn the clock back to 1980 and have drivers dying constantly because the track or equipment are unsafe. |
