- FYI from April 17, 1989 AutoWeek article on Phoenix CART race:
-
- "Mears quickly fought back, and on lap 82 he was back ahead of [Michael
- Andretti's] Lola. Mears' timing was exquisite, for just three laps later
- the caution flags were waving again as the result of Bobby Rahal and
- Bernard Jourdain having a disagreement over lines at Turn Four. Both cars
- ended up parked heavily against the wall, each man blaming the other for
- the incident."

- Just give me time--I can eventually dig this stuff out! (And it gives me
- an excuse to save it all....)
