Funny, aside from your first 2, most of the experts feel the best races were in the 60s and 70s when the overall quality of the fields was higher.
Having 5 races from the period 1982-1992 shows your age.

I would have to agree mainly because those were the years before the IRL split off, leaving both series as a joke. They are the good old days of open wheel racing.
