Turn 1: Episode 10
The 1984 Dallas Grand Prix was an unmitigated disaster... A freshly poured (defective) asphalt track under the blistering Texas Summer Sun was put to the ultimate test when the 1984 Dallas Grand Prix went lights out. Join Turn 1 as we discuss the build up to race day, the overnight construction crews patching the track, 18 RETIREMENTS, and the crazy safety standards of the '80s.
