Long-time member of the Sports Car Club of America in the US. My club started the original "Import Car Scene"..in 1944. We also started this whole thing with Muscle Cars taking the twisties, instead of a simple straight line. I've flagged, I've raced, I've autocrossed. Here is some of the stuff I've managed to collect over the years.

IMSA GTP at Del Mar, 1988.

    it's impressive that even today a few brave souls bring these priceless machines out for laps at lime rock and the glen among others and in turn make new history. thanks!

    Yeah I'm not sure that I can take Lyn St. James talking about what it takes to be a good driver and race in CART. She was, and is, a complete joke that took a seat away from a driver that actually deserved it. I'd rather take racing advice from a potato than her.

    That was my first Indy 500! I have attended 33 of them…saw 2 of Mears’ 4 victories, and all 4 of Castroneves’. Always a thrill. Always get goose bumps when I tell of the first time I heard the announcer say “and it’s green!”. This year, I was in one of the garages for a tour, and came face to face with Simon Pagenaud.

    So im 33 and ive been a tech since I was 18. Nothing in the world makes me happier than my two year old son. However this is a real close second. Cash for clunkers crushed all the automotive gold over the years. Howany of these tiny beasts were prematurely ended? Craigslist says almost all of them. Thebones thst are left no one wants to sell. A nice 87 pickup of any designatio is like 20g's 😂. My dream car is a 198+ Toyota extended cab long with a 2azfe camry swap.

    Can anyone tell me why this excellent documentary could not be named. It was a really good example of how things were back then. The real sportsmanship of guys on opposing teams congratulating each other. Also the totally gratuitous celebration of the female form that went on back then. My sister and I were laughing like hell at the cameramen's antics. The 60s and 70s were another world.

    We used to go to Mosport all the time. Most of the year there was nothing going on, it was out in the country. Good place to learn to drink. Mid week camping weekends all the time in summer. Just hop a fence,and through the woods. It was like Disneyland for me. Around 1972 I think.
