On May 15th, 1982, a cocky young driver named Gordon Smiley went out to qualify for the 1982 Indianapolis 500. Only a week after Gilles Villenueve’s passing at Zolder, the world was worried about open-wheel racing and its perils.

Cars were braking speed records at Indianapolis already, with Rick Mears setting the fastest qualifying average ever earlier in the session. Smiley talked to his car owner, Bob Fletcher before he strapped into his car. He told him he was going to hit 200 mph, or die trying.

This brought back many memories for Fletcher, who owned the car that Art Pollard died in during the 1973 race. Fletcher warned Smiley that he should seek experience from more experienced, older drivers.

Many veterans had warned Smiley that if his car broke traction, to not try to correct, as the road racer was used to. Smiley seemed to push the advice off.

Smiley went out for his 4 Lap qualifying run, the average of which would serve as his qualifying time. There is a warm up lap before each run which is used to warm up the tires, but Smiley was pushing the car, hard. He was on the limit of grip through Turns 1 and 2. His foot was to the floor as he headed down the backstraightaway. He turned into Turn 3, and the car broke sideways. Smiley corrected, and the car spun back to the right.

Smiley hit the wall at an estimated 185 mph. The cockpit and front wing assembly collapsed on impact, sending Smiley’s head into the wall. He was killed instantly.
