Latest Site News

Updated 7/4/2008

Happy Birthday!  ChampCarStats.com went online four years ago today.  I'd like to give a quick thank you to those who were kind enough to contribute information to the site over the past year (hopefully I don't leave anyone out): Al Blixt, Don Capps, Dick Cole, Michael Ferner, Simmo Iskül, Richard Jenkins, Rick Kelly, John Lehmann, Jim Thurman, Ben (no last name).  Also, more updates will be coming soon!  I know it's been a bit quiet here as far as fresh info, but I'm back into data gathering mode and will have more updates posted shortly.

Updated 5/19/2008

Today's is a small update, mostly corrections.  I've corrected spelling and added bio details for Bruce Keen, corrected the birth year for Roger McCluskey, corrected the birthdate for Joe Dawson, added bio details for Ken Goodson, and corrected dates of death for Tommy Milton and L. L. Corum.   Also I've updated the appropriate pages with the recent passing of Jim Reynard.  I've finished correcting the formatting on the national flags on the driver pages as well.  If you aren't viewing this site through the latest version of Firefox you won't notice the difference, but if you are it was quite an annoyance.

Updated 5/5/2008

1926 Detroit 1-3 (NC) Added these races
1927 Detroit (NC) Added this race

1953 Indianapolis Added engine for Doster; added non starter N. Carter
General Corrected Tom Casman to Cosman; added listed hometowns for Cosman and Doster.  Also I've updated the appropriate pages with the recent passings of Dan Murphy and Chuck Daigh.
New Drivers Added Jaime Camara

Updated 4/21/2008

Added full names for Mansell, Rupp, Shain; corrected death date for Shain; changed 1953 Indy nonqualifier from Johnny Key to Johnny Kay; corrected 1946 Dayton races to be on dirt as track had not yet been paved; corrected chassis for S. Ross in 1931 Altoona races 2 and 3 from Miller to Rigling.

Updated 4/12/2008

Another small update today.  I've added Frank Galvin as a nonstarter for the 1915 Indianapolis 500, tweaked the birthplace and possible birth years for Pete McKeone, corrected an error in Mario Dominguez's career start total (it read 84 instead of 86), added Alex Lloyd to the site, and updated a few more driver index pages to reflect currently active drivers.

Updated 4/8/2008

There are a couple of small updates today.  I've correct the date of death for Don Davis from August 8 to August 7, 1962, and added birth and death dates for Gordon Condon.  Also now that the 2008 Long Beach entry list is out I've updated the appropriate driver index pages to reflect the drivers who are now considered active for 2008 and added pages for the two new drivers on the list, Juho Annala and Franck Montagny.  The Long Beach race provides a bit of an odd situation since it will be sanctioned by CCWS but counted as part of the IRL championship.  As such, that race will be treated the same as the Indy 500s from the mid '80s through the mid '90s.  The race will count in both the CCWS and IRL records, and in the drivers' year by year results at the top of the driver page it will list their IRL results followed by a line noting that it includes the one CCWS result.

I've also reformatted the driver pages in the old Indy Lights series.  There were some display issues with the individual race results that weren't major, but I didn't really care for it.  I've decided to keep the old Indy Lights data separate from the new IPS/Indy Lights.  Even though they now share a name as well as some other key aspects, they're still separate and distinct series, and I feel their stats should be kept that way.

Updated 3/30/2008

Today's update is small.  I've added a pair of non starters at Indy; Tazio Nuvolari attempted to practice in the car Herb Ardinger qualified in 1938 and Doc Williams qualified the car Ardinger raced in 1947, but was replaced before race day.  Also I've updated the appropriate pages with the passing today of David Leslie in a plane crash.

Updated 3/26/2008

I've finally managed to clean out my notebook full of new info.  There won't me much in the way of updates for the time being, but that will free me up to work on other items, such as correcting the driver flags.  I'm also debating whether to combine the Indy Lights and Indy Pro Series sections now that they've gone back to the old Lights name.

Updated 2/29/2008

I've removed a pair of pages from the Record Book section, as recent events have changed things.  The Strictly Champ Car standings page has been removed.  As CCWS and IRL have now merged it no longer made sense to exclude the IRL stats from the main Champ Car stats, and what was now left out was such a small amount (1905, NASCAR 1952-53, 1946 sprint car races, 1981-83 Gold Crown dirt races) that it no longer justified having a separate listing.  Also, the Modern Day Champ Car standings, which was the combination of CART and CCWS stats, has been removed.  I never really liked the page anyway, and current events have now rendered it needless.

New Drivers Added George Dade, Carl Christensen, Harry Marshall, H. J. Horsman, Harry Fletcher

Updated 1/18/2008
(Updated: The RSS feed is up and running!  I'm also planning a News and Notes feed, a monthly look at current events and how they relate to the historical data, plus a look at some interesting tidbits from the past.  That will begin in March or April.)  Here's the first batch of updates to report.  Actually they're not brand new, they went online last month.  I've got a ton of new info, mostly on the older races.  Lots and lots of nonstarters/nonqualifiers, plus other notes.  I haven't been updating the site with anything over the past month of so because I've been in full data collection mode, but around the end of the month or so all sorts of new data will begin being posted.  I'm also going to put a more complete rundown of what get updated in the news section.  There's always small bits of data added, corrected or updated, but I usually only listed the big stuff in this news section.  I'm now going to keep a running log of updates so you know what all is new.  In fact I'll soon have an RSS feed set up to alert anyone who's interested of all the latest updates.  Here's all of what was added last month, most updates won't be near this large but this is a month's worth of work listed below:
