An oldie but a goodie. Caroll Shelby Goes Racing…for your viewing pleasure. Pete Brock, Ken Miles and Dan Gurney put the cars through their paces.
Yeah, I like that one. Especially the 4 wheel drift by Miles in the white street Cobra!
This video is nearly 14 years old…but…my goodness, it’s worth a watch. Absolute insanity on the last lap as two ALMS GT2 drivers battle for the win @ Laguna Seca.
It’s not often that you can document the exact moment that half of the world was sworn to hate Porsche racing cars forever 😂
I share this video any time some one tells me racing is boring.
Teach that corvette to run those offensive lights... ðŸ¤ðŸ˜†

Michael Andretti has hit out at Formula One teams for being too greedy to see the benefits of his company's proposed entry to the sport with General Motors brand Cadillac in 2026.A New Track in Knoxville Called Flatrock Wants to Be America's Next Great Road Course
A New Track in Knoxville Called Flatrock Wants to Be America's Next Great Road Course
www.roadandtrack.com
The Knoxville-based Flatrock Motorsports Park plans to be qualified to host both MotoGP and IndyCar by 2024.If they stick to the plan it will be an amazing set up. This is part of an article I saw on it. “ 3.50-mile private Member’s Club track and a 2.67-mile Grand Prix track. Combined, the full circuit is almost 6 miles of challenging and unique driving, taking advantage of the natural topography and views”
Wish we could get to limerock independent of the festival. Straight race weekend..... new track looks cool!
Author does not mention VIR, Watkins Glen, Road America or Road Atlanta in his list of pro and vintage/amateur tracks. What the duck food? Not pro enough for ya? Not amateur enough for ya?
