So I bought a copy of “And They Walked Away” in 1989. I was always so confused when they had been showing cup cars at Riverside then suddenly showed Camaros. I had no idea what series they were from…Until now!!

This was the era when USA Network was the equal of ESPN & WTBS Superstation in terms of sports and auto racing coverage.

I didn’t know Phil Parsons was doing commentary that far back. He was still an active driver back then.

[@jjlockridge4237]

Oh yeah. He always did both goes back to Benny starting in TV in the late 80s…The most articulate drivers back then were the Parson’s, The Bodine’s, The Waltrip’s , and the late Tim Richmond. TV and Radio loved the input of the driver’s who knew the present day cars.

[@odell329]

I just called the 800 number to get the autoweek magazine subscription. No answer

1 year warranty has prolly expired beware! Send in the money and let us know how it works out!

[@michaelflaherty3202]

very choppy broadcast, ie near the end Krebs is the leader and then one car passes and now he's third. But in that era you're lucky to get anything.

[@RandysRacingPlace633]

This was televised *4 MONTHS* after the race was originally held??? Hope ESPN Speedweek and WTBS Motorweek Illustared didn't ruin the winner by the time this aired! 😁😁😁😁😁

I’ve worn glasses since I was a young boy! Perhaps I should see the faith healer to improve my vision! Lasek is expensive
