IMSA GTP at Miami, 1989

Chris Economaki's on a boat. Bob Wollek still wears an open face helmet, and says Black Jack's son is 'just another race driver'. Chip Robinson 'splains cool suits to Economaki for half a minute, and Dan Gurney nurses his Toyotas through their awkward adolescent phase. Expectant father Price Cobb says, "If she wants that kid to have nice clothes, I gotta stay here.." And John Nielsen tries to chase down Geoff while 'Black Jack's kid' does the dance with a dead clutch pedal. Oh, and Ken Squier never says a car's on fire. Gotta be a 'first' for him when doing GTP commentary.
Damn, GTP was fun. I'm so stoked that I got to be a part of it..even if I was just standing on the side of the road waving flags at them.

The diversity of GTP racing made it one of the most exciting series ever (I would have said THE most exciting before discovering SCCA Trans Am racing on your, oldSCCAguy yah channel). Being from England I have never heard that much about it but now I'm addicted! Favourite car is Ron Fellows Sonoco Camero, what a beauty.

I like the comments you include with your uploads.Its nice to have a bit of humor.

[@oldsccaguyyah9901]

mokeimusic Thanks! I try, dude. Hey, most of the guys my own age were there, and most of the younger guys have already researched names & results on the internet. Nobody's flamed me for posting up a "spoiler" yet. Since we're all racing people it's like everyone already knows who won, regardless of their age. Motor Racing: an 'Equal Opportunity" addiction. ;)

When they initially brgan planning for the new Miami F1 race they floated the idea of using this track layout and adding length too it by effectively stapling on a long dogleg set of straights going over the bridge and looping back around at the far end of the bridge.

amazing thank you!

1:21 Bob Wollek tell's Andretti he is staying in the car.

[@peterlanglois65]

And then Wollek stalls the car and damages the transmission... brilliant.

[@Kinggweeny]

+Christian Ponicki, I know I was being sarcastic about the fact the 962 he was driving looked just like a GTP-ZX-T. Got to hand it all those driving 962's keeping them competitive for so long.

[@christianponicki9581]

King Greeny Ah, that went right over my head. You're right; his 962 does look a lot like the Nissans. And I agree, the drivers of those Porsches did a good job of staying competitive. But they wouldn't have been able to if various teams hadn't kept evolving the 962 design throughout the years.

[@Kinggweeny]

Love Wollek's Porsche 962 GTP-ZX-T......!

[@christianponicki9581]

King Greeny Wollek never drove a ZX-T; he just drove a pimped out 962.

[@AmericasChoice]

Wollek was a great driver, but it seems he had heat stroke or something... Crazy way to end their chances.

[@ExorFILMS]

I can swear I saw a North Korean flag in the back at 1:37

[@RandysRacingPlace633]

stoked_dude I think that was a Costa Rica flag at second glance. Could be wrong, tho.
