racer69 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the gridracer69 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Although i've only seen limitied footage of the 1982 Indy 500 (only born '83) the closing laps looked fantastic, with Mears on fresher tyres closing in on Gordon Johncock, in what is the 2nd closest finish at the 500.

Surfers 1991 was good, Unser Jr led for a while but crashed just after losing the lead to Michael Andretti, taking out Eddie Cheever and Mario. Michael ran out of brakes, Mears led and went off, John Andretti came through and won on Jim Hall's return as a team owner.
