The 1984 Formula One World Championship Dallas Grand Prix
Round eight of the Formula One World Championship and the first of the season's new tracks - Dallas - and J. R. Ewing would savour the current Grand Prix story.
Reigning World Champion NELSON PIQUET has come good at last - a second successive victory two weeks ago in Detroit. Are the season's leaders so far, McLaren's ALAIN PROST and NIKI LAUDA, going to be pipped at the post? Today's race in the Dallas Fair Park where J.R. himself once had a memorable confrontation, could add another twist to the worldwide Grand Prix television drama.
A twisty street race of 2i miles, this afternoon's meeting of machine and men will be run in high heat and humidity - and there'll be plenty of oil for everyone.
