Sonoma Raceway Home Movie (silent)

Silent home movie from the Prelinger Archives
Sonoma Raceway • Sears Point

I believe this is the 1961 USAC championship at Laguna Seca. Looked up the entry list on Racingsportscars. There was no racing at Sonoma (Sears Point) then.

[@900108Chale]

Yup! You're absolutely right:

This is exactly how a Formula E race sounds

[@900108Chale]

Wish it would! But sadly they sound more like an Scalextric track on steroids.

[@DirtyMerkin]

I believe they sound like a dentist Drill

[@jimpatterson2749]

Great old video, BUT this is Laguna Seca, Not Sears Point

[@arturodiaz4106]

I was thinking the same

[@foodquig]

Wow! I could hear them roaring by even though this was silent! Could have been the traffic outside my window :(

Merry Christmas🎄🎄⛄⛄

[@39Merc]

Yup, this is indeed top of the hill at Laguna Seca, right before the left bend taking you down the Corkscrew!

[@oncefamous9573]

Yes it is Gurney in the Lotus 19.

[@Threesixty31]

Is it Shelby in the red/white tripe birdcage?
