Off Topic: Some USAC sprints and a film on Alfa Romeo Formula One years
|
?
Here are two items, each of which is OT.
?
For the first, I recommend that anyone who has a FLO Subscription watch the replays of both the Friday night and Saturday night USAC sprint car races at Lawrenceburg. ??Apart from the racing, the clever hype and sometimes poetic commentary that announcers can come up with never cease to amaze me.? ?As the cars come around for the feature, you will hear ¡°get ready to rack, stack and shuffle¡± and ¡°this is what you saved your lunch money for.¡±? You will also hear (and see) Briggs Danner do a ¡°bunny hop¡± in Turn 1.? If you do not have access to FLO, you can watch highlights of the Friday night feature at and the Saturday night feature at ?
?
For the second, many of you will have seen this.? It is a treasure:? a 51 minute clip from Racing Through Time on the history of Alfa Romeo¡¯s Grand Prix efforts up through 1951, then the ?Mille Miglia, at .? This has original footage of Alfa¡¯s great cars and drivers.
Enjoy.
