Long-time member of the Sports Car Club of America in the US. My club started the original "Import Car Scene"..in 1944. We also started this whole thing with Muscle Cars taking the twisties, instead of a simple straight line. I've flagged, I've raced, I've autocrossed. Here is some of the stuff I've managed to collect over the years.
Dad and mom made every event from 1958 - 1972, dad hurthis back in 73. My brother and i were their every weekend, in cluding being at events we couldn't see anything Starting in 1968 ran the PCA High speed autocrosses their. My first time autocrossing their was 1977. First vintage race was CHR in 1987 in Can am class with a 911, Bob Rahal ran in our run group that weekend, #74 Jagermiester 911
Hi, Im one of the drivers in this video and would like to have a hard copy. Any idea how I could get my hands on one? Cant figure out how to burn a DVD from here. Thank you so much.
That was my first Indy 500! I have attended 33 of them…saw 2 of Mears’ 4 victories, and all 4 of Castroneves’. Always a thrill. Always get goose bumps when I tell of the first time I heard the announcer say “and it’s green!”. This year, I was in one of the garages for a tour, and came face to face with Simon Pagenaud.
Geez what fantastic footage, my fellow countryman Bruce McLaren taking the win....i only went to Riverside once myself in 81. These days Bruce and Denny are very much remenbered(as are others in this race) certainly was the dust and the glory back then.😊
So im 33 and ive been a tech since I was 18. Nothing in the world makes me happier than my two year old son. However this is a real close second. Cash for clunkers crushed all the automotive gold over the years. Howany of these tiny beasts were prematurely ended? Craigslist says almost all of them. Thebones thst are left no one wants to sell. A nice 87 pickup of any designatio is like 20g's 😂. My dream car is a 198+ Toyota extended cab long with a 2azfe camry swap.
Can anyone tell me why this excellent documentary could not be named. It was a really good example of how things were back then. The real sportsmanship of guys on opposing teams congratulating each other. Also the totally gratuitous celebration of the female form that went on back then. My sister and I were laughing like hell at the cameramen's antics. The 60s and 70s were another world.
That sounds dangerous lol. That really steep road that connects the turn 5 spectator area to the front of the track along the esses is scary enough to walk sober
@@QuattroZack1 We liked to sit up at turn 5. Ine day it rained and we had a fun time getting out. It's a lot nicer now, and the pits have been changed.
We used to go to the Riverside track. Get tickets for the infield. That way you could walk around and see different parts of the track. Usually we’d be between turns 6 and 7.
Oh the tracks dad would talk about! I'd love to see some great footage of Moran! What the heck happened out here, all the motorsports is gone just about. Thankfully the Adams family has been holding the reigns a while now!
We used to go to Mosport all the time. Most of the year there was nothing going on, it was out in the country. Good place to learn to drink. Mid week camping weekends all the time in summer. Just hop a fence,and through the woods. It was like Disneyland for me. Around 1972 I think.
This is pretty cool. Reminded me of Fabi’s time in Indy cars. Dude could flat out drive in the open wheels, still one of the best to never win the Indy 500.
