IMSA Camel GTP Laguna Seca 1985

[@coolbigrigs]

Nice to see the old Laguna Seca course again. The layout changed a year later. I always looked forward to TNN's American Sports Cavalcade every weekend. TNN was chalked full of great automotive shows. Love the old FORD commercials. I recall one of the corporate GM monster trucks circa 1986 had a bumper sticker reading ''Have You Driven Over A Ford Lately?'' Racing back in the day was way more exciting. Thanks for posting all these cool videos. Great memories rekindled.

The layout was changed in 1988, three years later.

Gotta love the difference 30 years makes! Notice the difference in vehicle engineering/styling? Notice the pit crews? No helmets, little protective gear at all. I love this video!

Laguna Seca was always lacking something until the infield section was added. Then it became a complete race course.

isn't the driver in the pole positionallowed to determine the starting pace? No.2 has to stay with him, right?
