Did Brock Yates tell them that Ohio may have the death penalty for going over the speed limit?

This track review is phenomenal... So much information and perspective.

[JuergenGDB]

Holy crap.... they have so re-worked Road Atlanta. I think its cool seeing what it looked like back in the day.

Fuck dude its called the Civil War and you lost cause you had slavery, a mode of society that became obsolete socially and economically hundreds of years beforehand in Europe. Get over it.

[mrzipdisk]

jk y'all. I like the train at Stone Mountain and the reenactments of the

"war of northern aggression" were always fun.

[audikris]

Awesome. It's amazing how much Road Atlanta has changed over the years!

Thanks for posting these. I watched all 13 videos in a row!!!

ESPN used to show these IMSA races.

These were the greatest to watch.

These were private racing teams, too bad the big money factories like Nissan came in and spent a bunch of their never ending money, which made it unaffordable for everyone else.

After that there were no more prototypes like the Porsche 962. The Jaguar was really cool also. These cars were unlimited, and the racing was fantastic.
