I was at both the 1969 and 1970 Trans Am races at Laguna Seca, where the memorable aspect of both races were the lack of _wheel to wheel racing;_ where instead, at the drop of the green flag they spread apart; with position changes taking place from the pit stops. I never saw them racing bumper-to-bumper as what's shown in this video.

The story about the challenger being acid dipped. It was the roof that dented because it was so thin. They bought a new challenger from the dealer ship and cut the roof off and transplanted it.

@joe, I am sure Butler builds good motors, but the Pontiac motor was built from original RAM-IV heads and block, assembled by a shop in California with advice from Tom Nell, former Pontiac engineer who built the original motors in 1971. Before Pontiac built the SD-455 in 1973-1974, they built a special run of blocks for NASCAR that featured a provision for an internal dry sump. The car has one of those.

The only Reason the Javelin Won was because, they were the only Factory backed team on the track. If ford had not pulled out the AMC cars would never have won. the Bud Moore cars only raced 5 races in 1971 and came real close to a win.
I think they should at least update the Brakes in most of these vintage cars for safety or make them “right” Braking was always a issue maybe
I wanna see modern muscle cars, stock. Duke it out.
This is so cool
Glad to see Mike Joy having fun
gotta love the stang black with gold trim
Very few cars in American race history as recognizable as the red, white & blue Javelins.
when. you race. a camaro or mustang.....the power slide like a sprint car. is how you put the car through the turn.....a controled slip...power on......but you dont over do it.......its. an art....... the color. is sublime...lime......like grovy. grrape
I did not know Mike Joy races. You go brother. Have a good one

@@TheInkPitOx Agreed, I love Mustangs and Camaros, but after a million or so the change is welcome.
Watching the grey gto lurking in the back ground was pretty epic, I know these are tuned cars but realistically it should have gotten destroyed on a track 🥴
Is this an annual event?
Sweet.......v8 sound
if you like this type of racing check the australian touring car masters, many races 40 cars racing harder that these guys
2:08 find somebody who looks at you the way Chad Raynal looks at Mike Joy.
Am I the only one druling over that amc javelin's body lines

Yes good
I thought it was Mazda Raceway
Cant compare new and old cars, like apples and oranges. Plus, most people I know, would rather have an ol skool car. Just the collectivity factor alone, you cant compare.

No 63 Falcon , only the 65.
Thumbs down because the crawl at the top of the screen has NOTHING to do with the actual cars or racing positions.
THE GRAY GHOST!!
(If the Pontiac is the real Gray Ghost) it was never a GTO. It was the Lemans of the creator’s wife. Yes highly modified.
The only "manufacturer " racing in 71 was AMC.

and yet they win most of these nostalgic races weird no factory backing they all pulled out of racing once the javelins started wining and right back in when they quit making javelins weird
wrong edition, put a race in Monterey and suddenly another in Laguna Seca
Ah man I wish I could get my hands on a javelin
GTO was on the go!!!
Indi makes aluminum heads. I have a pile of AMC heads.
