Mears Sets 200 mph Pole Record At Pocono 500

Rick Mears powered a Ford Penske PC-10 to the pole at Pocono International Raceway with a 44.780 second lap, 200.983 mph, breaking the 191.367 track record held by Peter Revson since 1973. He said practice speeds near 198 mph foreshadowed the run as the car stayed controlled, despite moments of throttle and brake adjustments and a near spin. Gordon Johncock described the car as loose before it hit the wall rear end first during the session.
