I still remember the track announcer saying that the driver had to hit the ramp at exactly 40 mph or the car would land wrong on the catch ramp. The American Thrill show always used AMC Gremlins, Hornets and the Astro Spiral car was usually a Javelin. I remember seeing "Crash" the clown being towed behind a car on his feet.....wild show and great drivers.
Do you have ALL episodes? of this, my favorite show ever. Bud was the MAN. Im looking for an old USAC stock car race Bud covered in 1968 or 1969 in northeast WI., eithere Green Bay or Shawno raceway for the Facebook USAC group. Its out there somewhere...
You are the 2nd person to ask me about that USAC Stock Car race in Wisconsin. Sorry, I don't have it. That race has become the Holy Grail of USAC Stock Car fans apparently.
Kaukauna is the track, yes. For those who were involved the footage i saw would be the clearest, longest, most concise footage of ANY USAC stock race run, EVER, with the exception of that 62’ Milwaukee race and 67’ IRP. Thats pretty impressive knowing which track im talking about... THANKS FOR THE POSTS, they mean the world to me, i saw what was shown here at the Milwaukee Mile cool stuff, its nice to know i wasnt the only one watching the speed channel history programmes. There are MORE old NASCAR races from the 50s that i remember that i havent seen on you tube yet. Im working on it, theres gotta be a way

The stunt eventually made its way into The Man with the Golden Gun
It was done by one of the cameramen for that movie, because the stuntman got ill!
Another amc...hornet hatchback.
@@t.versteeg3723 Got ill or chickened out?

@@rhostatton8944 AMC Hornet SST specially modified for this stunt
sweet astro spiral jump stunt perfected with Cornell Uni Computer Lab program!!
I'd guess it's possible that more people have walked on the moon than have performed an astro-spiral car jump.
Really going for it with the music. 😂😂😂

For the record, I believe that the race in question was run at Wisconsin International in Kaukauna.

Nice Vintage Stunt Car Thrill Shows
totally digging that fixed castor wheel setup on the rear axle.
pretty cool how they solved the problems.
Watch it many times as a child. Loved Crash the clown.
redbull....pay attention.
I remember this on TV back in the day.
Had training wheels underneath......how cool.
That additional wheel underneath hit a tab on the ramp that initiated the spin.
