1983 UNO Twin 125 Qualifiers

[@tbone67gthenderson78]

I was in attendance at this race rip Bruce Jacobi

[@theBackloggedGamer]

I love these old racing videos. Brings back memories

[@badmonkey2222]

Jacobi had retired because he had had a really bad crash at Charlotte like five years before this, wanted to come back, reminiscent of Neal Bonnet only Bruce suffered and didn't die until 4 years later.

[@scottledbetter7212]

RIP slick Johnson . killed in ARCA race at Daytona in 1990.

[@jimbosc]

Best name in NASCAR history

[@BSNFabricating]

When a car flips, that's one thing. Jacobi's car was practically LEAPING and then hitting the ground hard.

[@jimbosc]

Scrambled his eggs permanently

[@Dexter037S4]

Jocko Maggiacomo what a name!

[@brianbooher7318]

He is the guy who hit bobie Alison at Pocono in 88 an ended babies career

[@STP43FAN1]

Apparently two other cars split him and he had no place to go

[@willie0704]

they had over 70 cars entered for the 500 now they are lucky to get 40

[@tommydoswell]

And the drivers knew what a garage pull was.. 🙄

[@STP43FAN1]

Yes. Teams spent themselves bankrupt

[@prevost8686]

Those tough old bastards thought they were safe. They often bragged of how safe their cars were. The only thing that amazes me is that far more didn’t get killed or permanently damaged than did. I’m thankful for the modern safety improvements of today but that’s all. It doesn’t even interest me to watch today’s NASCAR.

[@dannycoker6439]

Wayne Swicegood Wayne there was still 30 fatalities at Daytona google it!!Not counting the ones that died due to fires!!Fires were the very worst.my opinion.But I truely loved that era.

[@drivin379]

Still blows my mind they least had wear a foam neck brace ...least been better nuffn ..even in my beast cart 80 to 120 mph we gotta wear neck brace

[@STP43FAN1]

The depth of the field is far and away better now than then. Daytona Talladega and now Atlanta have been averaging 41 lead changes per race. The Kansas race yesterday was a real eye popper also

[@nonflatnebraska1936]

Jeez Bruce Jacobi had huge air while flipping

[@brianbooher2286]

I was always told his roll cage failed but it don't look to me like it failed from the shot I just seen

[@karenvalle7312]

1:08:17 is rusty wallace flip

[@brucefrye8799]

I was 10 when this race was ran watched it with my grandfather

[@psiklops71]

Vhs got to love it

[@sixgun080]

Them Cars sound good!

[@saragrant9749]

Quite a few names in this who died in racecars after. Sad and dangerous times back then.

[@jeffpatton2866]

I miss the old "slingshot" move.

[@STP43FAN1]

After 1984 the draft weakened and drivers figured out how to stop the slingshot.

[@karenvalle7312]

8:48 is the fatal crash

[@jefrey5578]

Well, he died 4 years late. RIP Jacobi

[@brianbooher2286]

Rip joe booher an bruce jacobe also

[@bgd73]

not sure the odds.. the first race I ever watched and it was a fatal. At first I thought it was the 1980 crash.. but am pretty sure it was this one. I was 10 yrs old. I still watch today...watching the 500 right now.

[@joeford860]

RIP Connie Saylor

[@STP43FAN1]

Was the Goodys 300 two days after this televised?

[@jessiehenry5405]

8:46

[@ralphrichardson3207]

so, so sad

[@12121149]

Back when Nascar was great, RIP Bruce Jacobi,just sayin'

[@truckinchihuahuaalvieschre2494]

RIP Neal Bonnett killed in a crash in the 1st practice for the 1994 Daytona 500. When a shock mount broke.

[@kyloten-raikerz6638]

Neil

[@chrisjones3296]

damn turbines could run on perfume.Foyt won Ontario in a turbine powered Coyote

[@STP43FAN1]

When?

[@jimbosc]

@@STP43FAN1 I am not aware of Foyt driving a turbine car - the first race at Ontario was 1970 (2 years after USAC essentially outlawed turbine engines). Foyt drove a Coyote - Ford in 1970. It would have been turbocharged by 70.

[@STP43FAN1]

I was going to say Granatelli ran turbines 1967-68. Foyt never did. The turbines were fast but rarely finished

[@drivin379]

This not wreck that killed bruce ...was 1987 I think

[@SMIFFTV]

This wreck put Jacobi in a coma, which is how he remained until he finally passed in '87

[@drivin379]

Thought the wreck at Talladega was fatal one ....hmmm I be danggg

[@drivin379]

Yea thought was another wreck ....mmm racer trying so hard to get er done .....rest in peace bud and hold it to the floor in heaven with all other great racers IROC IN HEAVEN
