SCCA Trans Am at Brainerd, 1987

[@sabinabrozynski9215]

Attended this race as a part of the crew of car #50. We didn't do well but I still enjoyed myself. Spent many family vacations in the same area.

[@MegaVstromer]

We were there' ye also, turns 3,4, and 5 camping!

Great to hear Steve Evans again. Thanks for the upload!

[@oldsccaguyyah9901]

+Michael Lang , agreed.

[@jakeinge]

I was an 8 year old kid who was at this race. My dad raced in the vintage races that weekend. Great memories!

[@marklangren3142]

I ran against your dad

[@patrickpalony7622]

As a LOL corner worker, this makes me very happy. Hopefully the Trans-Am boys will be able to use the big track again some day

[@oldsccaguyyah9901]

Patrick, here's a "shout out" from Atlanta Region to Land O' Lakes! Man, I'd love to work that place one day!

[@patrickpalony7622]

It's a blast and we'd love to have you!

[@RandysRacingPlace633]

Thank you for this! BTW, SCCA World Challenge and the new Trans-Am series raced at Brainerd this past year.

[@oldsccaguyyah9901]

I'm just sorry the quality's so poor. That skewing uppper 3rd drives me nuts, but the last VHS machine I have that still works has that stupid "automatic tracking" feature. And yeah, good to hear that Brainerd's back! I'm hearing they took the front straight off the drag strip and paved a new one?

[@BDMotorsports]

+oldSCCAguy yah its a multi choice layout now... the big course is still there, have a shorter course too now. Used to live there... I was at this.

[@oldsccaguyyah9901]

+BDMotorsports , a lot of places are doing that now. Opens up more days for police training, manufacturer press days, track days, etc. Road Atlanta today looks just like it does in the video games. :D Hey, more rentals, more money. Whatever keeps it a race track, right? As far as actually being there in '87 goes..any good stories?

[@CPCdrummer]

@@oldsccaguyyah9901 Great stuff man! THANK YOU. I know how much time it takes in the old media! Doing everything in real time takes FOREVER! I had a big bin of Beta that I wanted to transfer to CD. Beta machine died. Found another one on CL and it died so finally just gave up. I'm glad you didn't! TransAm at that time was a cool mix of hardware. The Merkur xr4ti going head to head with the 944 Turbo and the Camaros licking at their heels was great to see. Thanks again! CC

[@roberthanson579]

Thanks. My dad and I are loving this. Bless you old guy.

[@oldsccaguyyah9901]

+Robert Hanson , thanks! I'm actually pretty stoked that I saved tapes from tracks I'd heard of, but had never worked. All these years later, I'm glad I did. Stuff like this, and Hallett and Summit Point were just "WOW! (publicly obscure track) was on TV?!? Yeah, not recording over *this* one!" Glad y'all enjoy it.

[@JesSchwartz]

This is really cool to see the track back in the day. Thanks for posting this.

[@fohdeesha]

thanks so much for uploading this!

[@Kinggweeny]

Porsche love racing in America no matter what the category!!

[@PeterKKraus]

Turn 4 is very reminiscent of the esses at Lime Rock. The didtance from 3 to 4 is a bit longer though.

[@j1nx3d5]

Love it!!

[@marklangren3142]

Tyrn 1 nearly flat out

[@2175Wook]

What are the weight, power and tyre sizes for these cars? How does the most powerful car compare to the least powerful car in this race in terms of power, weight, tyre size and braking ability?

[@Trucker1957]

I sure miss TNN was a great network.

[@marklangren3142]

Por-sha

[@idriwzrd]

25:00 Kaitlyn looking good on raceday.

[@littlegina2011]

[@idriwzrd]

Right. Nor will he (she?) ever be the same, again.

[@Fitch93]

No, literally, NOT the same Bruce Jenner, this guy is from New Zealand.

[@iProcratinate]
