Jack Dossey Jr. became the first repeat winner since 1991 of the World Figure 8 Championship in a fast and awesome race held September 10, 1994 at the Indianapolis Speedrome.

“The performance speaks for itself,” Dossey beamed moments after claiming his second consecutive World Figure 8 Championship. “It was an awesome race… it’s called an endurance race but it’s a three hour sprint race.”
Dossey, who won $8,000, was so right. He completed 403 laps, the first time since 1986 that the 400-lap mark had been surpassed.

It left runner-up Duane Lee, plagued late in the race without brakes, virtually gasping when he said, “I couldn’t believe the pace. The leaders drove it like it was anything but an endurance race.”

Seventy-nine drivers competed in the 18th Annual World Figure 8 that was spiced by the command to start the engines by then Mayor Steve Goldsmith.

Lee, the 1992 World Figure 8 Champion, completed 400 laps. Former champion Leonard Basham led all the out of towners in third with 381 laps.

Dossey took the lead for good on lap 283, emerging from a three-car shootout with a commanding one-lap lead with 30 minutes to go. Challenger Mike St. John was involved in a crash just a few feet behind Dossey on lap 311. A few minutes earlier, Lee slowed to void a collision and went a lap down.

The race was red-flagged on lap 253 for a fire in Michigan’s Jack Dandy’s car. Dandy rolled from the car and was not injured.

He early pace was frantic. There were 20 lead changes in the first 185 laps among five drivers, including Dossey. He led a total of 282 laps with Rodney Sizemore leading 67 laps, St. John 25, Lee 22 and Richard Fenwick eight.

Louisville’s Roger Vincent was the top first-time driver, finishing 16th to earn the Sonny Eaton Memorial award. Jack Smith earned the Sonny Thompson Memorial award for best improvement, finishing 30th after starting 69th. Kim Gibson finished 26th, best finish for a woman in the race.

Jack Dossey was your fast qualifier at 16.940.
Lap Leaders
Jack Dossey Jr. 13 times for 282 laps
Rodney Sizemore 3 times for 67 laps
Mike St. John 5 times for 25 laps
Duane Lee 4 times for 22 laps
Richard Fenwick 3 times for 8 laps
