God I miss this era of racing. All of it, NASCAR, road racing, grassroots drag racing, AMRA, the fastest street car stuff, 5.0 vs. Grand National shootouts... Man, once it's past you're old for a long time.
My childhood was the 80's and RACE CARS and Fighter Jets made a boy happy, it was so fun and the excitement in the crowd it can never compare to the boring crowds today, it was just FUN damn I can still remember the smells of cotton candy, popcorn, gas, and tires, where did we take that wrong turn
Friggin sick, its always been my dream to see old cars like this in high def video and sound. It's so hard to do these cars justice with old TV broadcasts, and I wasn't alive to see these in person.
with all due respect, the commentary sucks. So much dead air time, the guys didn’t talk about the cars, didn’t tell us anything about the drivers. It’s like sitting in a little league game in a small town listen to Jimbo trying his best to match all the numbers and names of each players while mentioned nothing about the play or the team
@pagansforbreakfast well isnt that a smarmy way of saying you disagree. If we can be objective here, there is a significant amount of dead air which is one of the most important things to avoid as a broadcaster or commentator. Like an uncomfortable amount of dead air. And the sound engineers for the broadcast don't turn up the audio of the race, it's just quiet with faint engine noises. Not to mention nothing insightful is added that we can't see for ourselves and unless you actively follow this particular series, you have no idea the circumstances of the race or anything whatsoever. But yeah we're all just nascar watching idiots. Wish we could all be like you =/
Man. I witnessed this in person. I have been to every LB GP since like 2010. This was by far, the coolest most exciting race. I'm into old school historical stuff, and I just have a huge affinity towards cars of the 80s and 90s. I mean this really did it for me. I loved every second of it. I loved that I got to go see the cars. I hope they continue with vintage and historic race cars. Legit the pinnacle of all of LB GP to me.
So cool. I bought the 1991 Ford Roush Mustang GTO on Forza and am so curious about this epic class of cars. Definitely gonna save this video and watch after work.
God I’d loved to have been there for this. These and the GTP cars where the cars of my childhood. I like modern racing but nothing compares to Imsa in the 80s and early 90s. I miss going to the Camel GT at Portland’s PIR every summer. I was out there today watching some club racing. When I’m at the track I spend more time reminiscing and talking about the “good ol days” then I do watching the cars. At least I can relive it through sim racing with VR. Ha!
Oh my God that’s an insane lineup dude!!! So many classics in one spot probably opened up a portal to another universe. Thank you so much for uploading this.
man i miss these days it was so different back then, i have every car here in 1/18 gmp diecast bout $20,000 worth of em ...gto was a fun class 2.3l to V8s that’s whistler radar detectors ✌🏻and roush’s old Xr4ti was the first car i started racing in 88
Great to see all these cars again! Then I realised something...I saw 'em race when they were new and now they are rated as being HISTORIC! Oh well...must get back to hooking up my Graphic Equalizer...
Theyre broadcasting to the track over the loud speakers, so I guess theyre just updating everyone that has a screen to look at it lol even though at a street course thats all you usually do lol
Rick Hoppe It’s because the commentary is for the track radio that the spectators can tune into. It’s not really meant for video really hence the dead air, why he is saying ‘on the big screen’ etc. Might be bring captain obvious with this but seen it being mentioned a lot
