Oh! How I remember those days! I was one of the first Road Atlanta Employees in that era. It was Glorious !! I'll never forget it !! never forget it.

Fantastic. Gordon's still with us, but retired. Thanks for attributing it to him!

Gordon Jolley had films from many old SCCA Championship races. I have tried contacting him on his website several times over the last years to no avail. I am really interested in finds films/videos of the 1972 and 1973 AARC Formula Vee races wich I was a part of. Do you know if anyone is managing or has access to Gordon's old films? Thank you. Another old SCCA guy.

Most excellent, nice editing and soundtrack. Very groovy, thank you for posting

Tobin Gallawa all the editing was done “in camera”! And the sound track was added with free music from KZbin when is used to be offered. Glad you liked it!

After Mark Donohue suffered serious leg injuries in pre-race testing of the L&M Porsche, Roger Penske called on George Follmer as a last-minute substitute. Thrown in the deep end of the pool, in a car he'd never driven before, George managed to not only stay afloat but win the race. He ultimately won the 1972 Can-Am championship, truly a great accomplishment.

Great piece! Thank you!

What I find startling is at 1:31 - Denny Hulme is 38 yrs old there... he looks 48, or more. Anyway, great footage, thanks for posting.

Heartbreaking seeing Cevert and Revson together. Both would be gone in less than two years. Sad.

Watched at 1/4 speed to take in all the details. I'm intrigued with the roots blown car at 3:35. #25. Looks like a small time outfit that brought a drag engine.

Veramax Projection soundtrack was free from KZbin...picked because it matched the running time.
