Some of you say this race was overshadowed by Grant Adcox’s death but they never mentioned during the broadcast he had lost his life so that’s not the case
Oh yea! Green Valley, Where I started racing in 1963 with my Lotas 11 La Mans then in 64 I bought my 1962 Shelby Cobra and ran at Green Valley every chance I got. Drove the Cobra through the run offs in 1967 and figured out what it was worth. Traded an old AH Sprite to a friend for his 65 Mustang coupe which ran Trans Am. Ran it off and on for several years. When they had the first "Trans Am" in 66/67? I was chief if timing and scoring and built the new timing tower. In 84 I was in New York and missed this one. Green Valley Raceway was a wonderful and challenging track. I loved it!!
I was in that race, in the sport class. A Honda compact car hit the tire wall going into the chicane, the tires separated and opened a gap to the cement barrier. Being that the race continued under yellow at that spot only the tires weren't able to be put back in place. Unfortunately Micheal Himes went off at the same spot but hit the gap in tire wall and hit the cement barrier head on . Very sad .
I was there this race....all the comments about the wind that day are true! I took my girlfriend to the top of the Grandstand and when I let go of her the wind blew her 10 feet...Dad worked for the Los Angeles Times and we got free tickets to Ontario MotorSpeedway and Riverside International Raceway...the good ol days! Eric Underwood Class of 81 Downey High school California USA ♥️🇺🇲🙏🗽🦅 I miss eating at Sunnymead Burgers!
I wondered when I was a kid watching these old races why did they have a delayed tv start that they could not show the race live and complete. Still its great to watch these old Indi races from when I was a kid thanks for posting
I still call it the Billy Boat era. In my ERA, in CART, we had Formula 1 Champs like Nigel Mansell, Emerson Fittipaldi, and Jacques Villeneuve, and record setting speeds they still have not equaled, 28 years later.
Ah, the Billy-Boat, fat-man from TX beats the real winner on live TV era, such a Mickey Mouse farce, compared to CART World Series era. TY CoPilot, Google could not find answer. "The incident you’re referring to took place on June 7, 1997, at the Texas Motor Speedway. After the conclusion of the True Value 500 IndyCar race, A.J. Foyt had a physical altercation with driver Arie Luyendyk in Victory Lane. Luyendyk, who believed he had won the race, confronted the officials in Victory Lane, where Foyt slapped him and a scuffle ensued123. The confusion was due to a scoring error, and after a review, it was determined that Luyendyk was indeed the winner of the race"
I'm just amazed at how many accidents they had back in the day when they really weren't going that fast for such a track, 155mph is nothing. Just have to factor in the tech at the time was just not capable even though the track easily was capable of allowing more speed.
To think, just two short years later Malloy would die at Indy, then Pollard a year after that. Dangerous times back then. So many legends of the sport here.
This generation of so-called racing is definitely not stock body racing, these things are specific track car's only even too the point of what circuit they will be on. The 1960's generation is the actual showroom stock car's that people could actually buy because they seen them on a Sunday & bought the following Monday and some are stupidly worth a mint especially at the buyers premium money Grab so-called auction houses, like kissiyou, jarret backson, & the rest, All driving the numbers up at every horder meet. But this video are definitely not production car's, there built to either win or wreck simply put, & repeat because of the huge money in advertising.
I am pissed that the only uploaded race at Ontario was a. The last race at Ontario and b. Welcome to the last race of the season IN PROGRESS WITH ONLY 45 LAPS REMAINING
