- Les Lindley gives Willy T. a ride. Audi brings their rally champ to an American street course, but retains Hurley for the team car (just in case, I suppose). Gentilozzi still cares about Oldsmobiles. Diamond P hires Paul Page for a moment, and he's already calling Pruett "Scotty". PLN can't get that sweet Nissan power to the ground on this ridiculous 'Malibu Grand Prix' attempt at a race track.
Sorry I didn't get the whole thing, Since this one's a little short, I suspect that I just programmed the thing to record while I was working a Club Race at RdAtl or something, and the last scrap of this VHS I tried to cram it on just wasn't long enough. Results from good ol' RSC: www.racingsport...

I think it's great when the ads are left in. That warm nostalgic feeling I get is priceless.
Thank you.
*Willy T Ribbs's Muhammad Ali impression was on point.
Me too, those ads really bring us back , eh? - and yeah, poor Willy. Really wanted to see that Camaro spank the Audi. Oh well. Did the best he could. Those Audis were OP.
The camera cut to Les Lindley was so perfect when Willy backed it in to the wall near the end.
Mickey, Jack Roush worked at Ford as an engineer in the 1960s, and started a company to take Ford products into drag racing and NASCAR in the '70s. His company became known for building great engines for Fords, and the man was such a fan of Ford that when they went into road racing in the '80s, he was determined to make sure that anybody taking out a Ford product would have the best stuff they could. He even started his own race team for Trans-Am and IMSA GTO, and still runs a pretty damn successful NASCAR team. The Ford folks I know (even my road race folks) say that if you want a motor that brings big HP, and lasts a long time, go buy one from Roush. His company even builds V8s for vintage cars (in the case of Ford, that's Mustangs and Cobras and GT40s!!).
My goodness this is wonderful to watch. These drivers have all paid their dues
Listen to that compressor surge on the Audi. Early form of anti lag...sounds amazing but fries the turbo. No big deal, it was only money;)!
Thank you so much..it brings back such great memories of my childhood
Went to school with Steve Petty. He used to look down at me for Racing stock car's on Dirt. At our local track in Antioch CA.
Than he tried it. From someone that knew that he was a good road racer on road closures. But wanted to give him more training in Driving. So they put him in a Dirt modified.
Wasn't so easy. He got a new respect for dirt racing. Steve was a Hell of a good Driver. But didn't have the knowledge of how a car was put together or how things worked by hands on. Before just jumping in & Driving. He was the shit at the point out here in California.
thats how it is some of the best drivers got no clue how the car works just hop in and drive like its stolen and just like that got talent to drive like a king.
I was there and remember none of this, other than wondering who is this Jack Roush that everyone keeps talking about. I was never a fan of the Dallas Trans Am tracks, including the Addsion, TX one. I love the "chirping"....I can almost smell that race fuel. Thanks so much for bringing back some memories.
You know what made Walter a legend in my mind? When asked why Michelle Mouton would never beat him in Group B rally, his answer was, "because she's a woman." Dead ass straight faced too.
haha the truth always sucks . gottafind that
they really earned their paycheck on this track
I was there, and the race at Addison Airport. Thanks for posting.
I attended the (very wet) T/A & Can-Am event in 1985 at Green Valley Raceway. Still have photos.
@@downforce65 Lived close to Grenn Valley Race Way. Attended many drag races, Don Garlets, Dickey Harrel, Gene Snow. Remember the news of Art Arfons accident which took the life of local news anchor. Years ago I visited, could see where the old track was, but being taken over by housing. Great Times.
Good stuff. Keep 'em comin'! :-)
Wow, Michelle Mouton in an Audi commercial. I liked the Sure ad too, can't think of actor's name
I was there , with the scca as a pitmarshal, i was a club racer
That Warn Winch ad didn't age well 🤣
Put willy in that audi he would out drive walter i bet
Nope. Walter is the better driver. And keeps his cool too...
I doubt that
Walter has better equipment
Lol, never in 100 years. But that was a good joke.
You would have lost this bet easily.
