Pole sitter Rick Ravon drive to victory lane, but not with others trying very hard to keep him out of it. Breuning raced him hard for the lead after the first yellow, but spun out. Luckily didn’t hit anything, resumed the battle for the lead once the caution cleared. A misinterpretation of a backmarker led to Breuning touching him, ending his race and that of Brown.
Robert Love took over the battle and passed Ravon 5 laps before the end, only to lose it in turn 4 and ending his endeavor as well. Ravon sailed to victory, joined by Darryl Wineinger and Tommy Cook on the podium.

Rick Ravon started from the pole – as he usually does – and led the first 2/3 of the race until he pitted. The set of tires he got didn’t want to work and he struggled after his stop, while Breuning kept the lead and Hamby passed him for 2nd. Bill Smithem was 4th and behind him some of the newcomers had some good races, keeping the event caution free!

The Indianapolis 100 brought some very close racing as it’s done in all 4 editions in the Retro CART League. Unfortunately, it got too close early on: On lap 8, the leaders were headed 3 wide into turn one. It got too close and the mayhem that followed took out almost half the field, including pole sitter Johnny Hamby, Mike Zakar, Robert Love and others. Breuning carried on, but he was way off the pace.
What followed was a spectacular race with different players, Chris Brown, Bill Smithem, Charles Harris, Trey Mitts were among the drivers fighting side by side for the race lead. A late accident put Brown and Kielblock in the fence and the fight was between Smithem and Harris; Charles took the win with a final pass off turn 4 and crossed the line 0.001 second ahead of Bill Smithem!
