I was at the 1986 Indy 500, when they finally ran it, where Lanier scored a top 10 and Indy 500 ROTY honors. What I remember most about the '86 500 was that due to being rained out all through Memorial Day Weekend it was finally run on the weekend following Memorial Day. CART somehow persuaded the people up at Milwaukee and the television people to delay the running of the Milwaukee Rex Mays Memorial 1 week and run the 500 on the traditional Milwaukee weekend.
I don't specifically remember Lanier at the Indy 500 but I was very young in those days and payed more attention to the famous Indy 500 debauchery than I do today! LOL! The name Lanier didn't initially ring a bell when I read the article but after reading about his single Indy experience I kinda' remember him.
Been past the Coleman prison in Florida many times over the years.
Interesting read, ZERO.
