Thank you for this. I saw you race at Road Atlanta, James...still to this day some of the most skillfull, FUN to watch car control i've ever seen, especially under the bridge...and I've seen a lot...i've raced formula cars, motorcycles , mx, vintage mx, supermoto, dirt track in the infield , at Road A and across the southeast, been to 24 Hours of Daytona and Sebring hundreds of times, Can Am at Road A (my dad was good friends with Arthur Montgomery, and knew Dante ) and you my friend, were something else to watch...thank you James !

Great historical race footage. In retrospect, really wish I would have scooped up a late 60’s Corvair, in 1979, instead of my Nova SS. And went racing at Nelson Ledges instead of Thompson Dragstrip. Cool car and owner JT Orlando Florida

A nice trip "down memory lane"!! So good to see James Reeve is still passionate about a fast car! Keep up the good work!

That's funny I used to own a '66 Corvair Turbo Coupe, I sold that to get a '80 Triumph TR8, nice to see them racing!

«If the 911 have been an U.S. car, it would be exactly like this!» Jay Leno about the Corvair by Yenko.

I could not tell if the MG is a B or C . That would be a MGB or MGC but it is vary fast car indead .

[@jeffmullinix7916]

@ 1:57 you can see those cars drift to the outside of the curve . That is real drifting and not like these idiots do today . All they are doing is loosing traction on the back wheels . Real drifting is when all four wheels looses a bit of traction .

When racing could be done by normal working class people. Stingers are $60,000 cars now...

Corvairs are ill handling ????,I am confused,on pole with a ferrari,??

[@scootergeorge9576]

The Ferrari was B Production. The Corvair was D Production. USAC ran cars of different classes in the same race.
