Viking should host a USAC pre-1982 tribute night. There are some Silver Crown races up on youtube that feature guys like Unser, etc. also, does anyone want to do "Dario Franchitti-Tribute to a champion". I kind of want to host a night to honor him, and feature the '98 Road America race, '07 and 12 500's.

I kind of want to create a big fancy intro for each racing series ala the ESPN Classic Canada intro for "The Best of CART". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ln0a5PRX12E Maybe LASTCAR could work his way magic?

And won some titles in IMSA/Trans Am. I'd like to call him up some time and ask him what the hell he did, because his accomplishments sound amazing. My dad's only met him once, (sadly at a funeral). Tried asking Varsha and all I got was "Look him up on google". Which well..hasn't provided me much.

VikingSkull posted:Dude, you post in racing threads and you're related to him by marriage, but you don't know who Pete Halsmer is? I've just RECENTLY got into Sports Cars. My background was in Stock and Indy. Prior to all of that my knowledge of him was "Well, he raced in CART for a year, and the Indy 500 twice". His path to Indy is kind of unusual because how many folks from Indiana have you seen race the 500 WITHOUT a background in Silver Crown?

VikingSkull posted:Ok no one ever showed up, so tomorrow at 8pm EST I'm gonna put on the 1980 and 1981 Lumbermens 500's from Mid-Ohio. Can-Am and GT combined fields, like 40 cars on the track. Relative parity between the two classes. It's actually 3 classes, because the protos are the 5 liter F5000 style, plus a sub-2 liter, Formula 2 version. Stuff like Frisbee Lola's and Holbert Chevrolet's. Then the GT class is stuff like Porsche 935's and Chevy Monza's. I wanted to show up, the link didn't work.  .

Fun to watch and the car designs are awesome. I may or I may not be a little late due to some family stuff. I want to see some awesome racing at my hometown track though, so this sounds likes a blast.

BMB5150 posted:I have 96 Monaco, 05 USGP, and also all of F1 Decade of the 94 season. 1994 was so loving wacky it's worth it to watch all of the races. '05 USGP with Varsha, or just BBC-types? What I'd like to do is to create a "side by side" version of the US 500/'96 Indy 500, and watch both of them at the same time.

BMB5150 posted:With Varsha. 96 Monaco with Walker. I was half way to getting Monaco on ESPN which had iirc, John Watson and someone else. Watson still commentates for the GT3 races. I'd really like to see that, just because I wasn't following F1 at the time. I seem to recall reading something about Eddie Cheever doing races with Varsha back in the 90's, and Danny Sullivan of all people doing F1 races. (which is odd because his F1 career was literally a year). When did ABC/ESPN give up the rights to F1 to Speed? I swear I watched the 05 race on ABC. (I didn't follow it, just my dad and brother both were more interested to see what was going at IMS). But yeah, if you have any more US Broadcasts, I'd love to see those.

Some guy posted "Super Speedway" up on a video hosting website. It's not illegal, but I don't want to link it (Due to fear of it getting taken down). But it's on a legitimate one. Anyways, it's on the playlist now. I have no idea if now would be a good time to watch it due to it being DAYYYYYYTONNNNNNA-time, but this is something we should watch soon.

There's three other movies I want to hit up sometime. Le Mans The Last American Hero Grand Prix Some of the cinematography in those is flat out incredible. Plus you got Steve McQueen, Jeff Bridges and James Garner in each of them. I know the first two are on youtube. The last? drat impossible to find unless it's airing on AMC or you have the DVD.

On September 3rd, 1995, a NASCAR Winston Cup race and a PPG IndyCar World Series race were held on the same day. On the same network.(ESPN2) For some reason this makes me want to watch them back to back. The races were the "Southern 500" and the "Vancouver Indy" respectively. Anyone else game to watch those?

In honor the grand tradition of ESPN Classic airing marathons of auto racing around the big events in this country (whilst I continue to watch like some insomniac). I made a (TEMPORARY) channel to honor one of our grandest traditions in american auto racing. https://synchtu.be/r/WorldSixHundred Also I'll be making an Indy 500 one as well. Feel free to throw more "The Winston"/"Coca Cola 600" races at this thing, as I'm just using the current one as really a skeleton. I'd REALLY like to find that FS1 doc. they did on the history of the race last year. If anyone knows where that is? Add it up.
