Talk:1986 CART PPG Indy Car World Series

Against deletion
The CART/Champ Car season pages are a work in progress by several memebers of the AOWR Wikiproject. They are all being worked on from scratch, and will take many weeks to complete. Some of the pages are simple, listing only race winners, but nonetheless are being expanded slowly and eventually. The same is true at List of NASCAR seasons, which are also all works in progress. There is no reason to delete the pages at this time. Doctorindy 19:05, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Problem with Schedule
The 250 mile race at Michigan that took place between Sanair and Road America, won by Bobby Rahal, is missing from the schedule. Also, the season finale took place at Tamiani Park in Miami, not Homestead-Miami Speedway (which didn't even exist at the time). — Preceding unsigned comment added by PistonHonda (talk • contribs) 02:00, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

6/11/2013 Edit
A few things I wasn't clear on how to handle: 1. Rookies. Some drivers (Eddie Cheever for one) clearly should be classed as rookies, while the archived champcar standings are not. I can't find encyclopedic proof they were, but it seems to be true. (On the same hand, Dominic Dobson was a rookie in 1986, but not 1985?) 2. Relief driver- Dennis Firestone was replaced by Gary Bettenhausen at Sanair- I'm not sure how to put that in the table. 3. Tom Sneva- Indy. It appears he wrecked on the pace lap, and I'm not sure if DNS or 33rd was the correct scoring. 4. Steve Bren- listed as 'passed rookie test' at Indy- how should that be denoted and should he be added?

Article move / Article title change
Per lengthy discussion at WP:AOWR during the summer and fall of 2014, the article titles for this page (along with all 1979-2003 CART pages), was revised per contemporary sources. Doctorindy↔Talk 14:11, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
