I was 15 in 1977... I remember very well heading out to Framboise, mostly on Friday/Saturday nights to watch the races.... great times for sure! I agree, this is super rare footage!

Hard to beleive, 15 miles from the city of Sydney on a public road. Some guys would trailer their car in make a couple of runs and put it back on the trailer before the cops showed up...awsome..someone got killed in the mid 90s and pretty much put an end to it.

Some of those cars are still racing, most of the drivers are. Remember hearing about a couple of times the Mounties joined in for a run before breaking it up. lol On a backroad, early in the morning, people on both ends watching for traffic, not like the idiots today on major highways or city streets.

They jacked them up to get those big meats under them. But it made for ill handling cars in the corners. We laugh now a days seeing that. Funny thing is the guys who race in the F.A.S.T. series some are running in the 9's on glass belted tires like many of the muscle cars came with. And they aren't chemically treating them either. But I remember when this was the norm.
