Had to redo it since the earlier version from last year has been blocked in the USA.

So I went back and added a few pics and a clip or two. Hope you enjoy.

 

Yes, I did 'borrow' from others for this without asking, but it is Opp. :)

Peace out..............enjoy the ride

By "borrow" do you mean pirate? haha

I still consider myself part of the "younger" generation of sprint car fans, so old footage like this is a treat for me. So for that, I say thanks! It's a nice piece.


On a side note, those slow-mo shots @ around the 10 min mark are pretty stunning. I've always wanted someone with one of those high $$$ super high tech slow-mo cameras to take some footage of those big right rears as they roll around the turns. One of these days perhaps.....

Great tribute to a GREAT RACER and one of the nicest guys I've ever met. RIP Jan, you are not forgotten.

That's a lot easier than you might think to film that and slow it down for today. Digital allows for continous flow of motion and it's easy for me to do the slo-mo thing.
