The 1980's was the best decade.

Oh so cool

Anyone have the full race please? I am completely stumped as to how both riders fell off at the same time without running into each other, weird.

Miami vice season 2episode 17

Amazing... considering that guardrail has killed not one, not two, but more. But to this day, it is still the same.. The same that killed Francois, Helmuth and J.D

That will never happen again

I was on my way 2 Nam when this happen😢

Back when road racing was exciting to watch.

She destroyed 2 walls...that could've turned out so tragic...

Kdo byl v tom převráceném autě, Stomelen ?

2:14 I want a time machine going back to time before radio contact. Have lived my life two thirds in that era, a lover of pro road cycling and as a petrol head right after birth indeed also motorsports on any levels since whenever I can remember Those times were with tons of soul and filled with the immediate human responses. Cheers from Denmark

Honestly gotta be the worst accident in IMSA's history.

The same corner that Mcduffie losr his life,that probobly what the tire falling off JD's car looked like. Miraculous that Kendall survived this,IMSA's safety record is amazing.

I grew up in Moreno Valley in the early 80’s and remember hearing the races on the weekend!

A week or 2 later , DW has his insane wreck @ Daytona. You hear Bob Jenkins mentions Tommys ,this very accident while analyzing DWs wreck.

Dragsters are the King's Of The Sport!!!

One of greatest races ever. Just looking to see Paul Newman's face agape again. It was that good!!!!! Until s couple weeks later with Danny's spin and win at Indy!!!

Anybody got Rolf Stommelen?

I'll be 37 Saturday, so I'm too young to remember historic Riverside. This is fascinating stuff.

I waz there!

Allan Moffatt is a major, major legend in Australia, particularly at Bathurst. It's great to see this old footage of him. Thank you.

WISH THEY HAD SHOWN THE OTHER TWO EVENTS THERE THAT YEAR THATTHE CORVETTE GRAND SPORTS BLEW THE COBRAS INTO THE WEEDS IN.

Thank goodness your still with us Tommy

Spent many a day in that heat. Turn one a real pucker up flat out

The best circiut in world and someone demolished this

Same exact location where NASCAR driver J.D. McDuffie lost a wheel and wrecked, losing his life :-(

At the time Watkins Glen was definitely one of the most dangerous tracks in the world.

I was there to the end...

2:04: This is my first time seeing this. Looking at the Jaguar flipping and hitting the dirt bank. It could have been possible for it to flip again and then roll into the crowd which looks like it was unprotected by any high guard rail or catch fencing. That would have been catastrophic.

Wait 'til they see this 39 years later, next month, at the new Autodrome. At the Hard Rock Stadium.

Ford Motor Co didn’t want Cougar to out perform Mustang and take attention and sales away from Ford. Even though the 67 & 68 Cougar was better lookin than the Mustang. That’s why they turned the Cougar into another big Ford LTD type “personal luxury car” instead of continuing it as a muscle car.

The 67 & 68 Cougars are my favorite design of muscle cars from the 60’s. So glad I have my 68 Cougar in my garage. A time machine to the 60’s.

That version of Watkins Glen was the definition of brutality

Landry Sox & Martin and others...wow... lots of great memories watching these guys run

I always loved this show! I won the local Division 1 GTP championship back in '97. Won every race but one. That was Glory Days for me. But time slips away, leavin' you with nothin' Mr but, boring stories of, glory days! Yeah, they'll pass you by...

People thought is fatal

Riverside "Short Course"...

A Mini Cooper between the big cars! Cool!

The track Herbie had an Irish-Coffee Hang-Over on.

Love my 68 Cougar, and love seeing them tear up the track

Whomever wrote the script for the on-camera presenter was negligent with his research in regards to Jim Hall's return to racing: As team owner, he won the 1978 Indy 500 with Al Unser driving. Same for the 1980 Indy 500 with Johnny Rutherford. In the 1980 race, Hall's car was radically using _ground-effects_ in his race-car design advantage for the 1980 victory.

Walt Hansgen was the race driving mentor to Mark Donohue.

The Stardust Raceway is now the upscale, and gated, housing development known as "Spanish Trail" between Hacienda and Tropicana Avenues in Las Vegas . . . well, actually it is located in the unincorporated township of _Spring Valley_ Nevada in Clark County.

So glad they tore this down so they could build the country’s largest empty shopping mall

That Dart was surely the underdog.

The 72 car, yes the Porsche 911 hit something but damaged.

Those were truly the days late 60 early 70s in Trenton n j downtown the circit as it was know then

Mercury....cheated by Ford....

Awesome stuff. 67-70 Trans Am is just awesome!

That engine sound is what today's racing needs!!
