I Stroh's Dallas Grand Prix Date: July 8 1984 Location: Fair Park, Dallas, Texas Course: Temporary Street Course 3.901 km (2.424 mi) Distance: 67 laps, 261.37 km (162.41 mi) Weather: Hot, sunny The event was conceived as a way to demonstrate Dallas' status as a "world-class city" and overcame 100-degree heat, a disintegrating track surface and weekend-long rumors of its cancellation. The interesting tight and twisty course was laid out on the Texas State Fair Grounds with help from Long Beach (USGP West) legend Chris Pook, and featured two hairpin curves, but the surface was not up to the task. It was bubbling before qualifying even began, and after just a few laps, it began to break apart. Keke Rosberg of Finland survived a brutal battle of attrition and scored his only win of the season at the dramatic and unpredictable, one-time-only Dallas Grand Prix. The race was one of only two races in 1984 where the year's dominant McLarens did not score, and gave Honda their first Grand Prix win since 1967. René Arnoux's Ferrari was the only other car on the lead lap at the end, while Elio de Angelis came home third for Lotus.
