I remember my dad taking me to the Bangor State fair in the early 70’s to see his show. It was an era when we had Evel Knievel to watch on TV and now my dad had brought me to watch a daredevil perform live. Thanks for posting

Great memories, saw this show about 5 times throughout the 60's at various local fairs...I even have a Joey Chitwood Coin somewhere! Thanks for a great classic video.

Loved seeing him at The Eastern States Expo in Massachusetts...

This brought back a lot of memories. Thanks for share this video!

It says this is in Westmoreland county in PA. Where is that?

I’m a 58 year old guy, that took care of his elderly mother at home, until her death. Watching this, I was again 10, watching the show with my mom, setting in the bleachers at the county fairgrounds. Thanks

Thanks for sharing! I have a couple of these on VHS but don't have a VHS player anymore.

[@ElectronicsTech09]

You have can those VHS tapes converted to DVD's.

I liked that year's IROC Camaros. A friend had one; I got to pilot it(driver's position DID seem like a cockpit, to me)and, I, really enjoyed the experience.

They were awful. Italian (banned from youtube) Out Cruising was what they called them back then. The 80s really weren't a good time for fast cars. There was a Grand National, but it wasn't fast in comparison of what had been before and especially what was coming. The Trans Am was turned into a joke.

my dad told me to watch this cause he went as a kid

[@budekins542]

Was it Joey Chitwood(jnr) who drove the police car on two wheels in 'Smokey and the Bandit 3'?

[@RichardAugustMatthew19Man]

The car is a Trabant, East German car whose only benefit was it passed the MOOSE TEST.😅 OTHERWISE, it was total crap. 41:16
