I remember when these would come on TV and my grandfather would buy the VHS tape and we’d watch it together on his la Z boy. Times were so much easier back then
I love sharing old Australasian motorsports movies with the American guys I race with on weekends. Thanks for this :)
1:35 These guys didn't hesitate to stop and check on their fellow competitor. Standing ovation for these two.
6:30 Did somebody order sparks?! I’m impressed with the full-width track coverage!
8:47 casually pulls front wheels while drifting. Sprint cars are wild
1:34 that happened to my great uncle back in the mid to late 1970s, it wasn’t side car racing but it was Super Twin AMA Flat Track, so these are really big bikes, he was ran over 2–3 times on his neck shoulder and head area, he wasn’t as lucky as the person in the video, he was in a coma for around a month and was left with a traumatic brain injury that mostly paralyzed him from the waist down with limited movement of his arms and hands, his name was Eddie Daley, racing number was 80g & 80m, he raced for K&N, he passed away in 2007
Love it!!! Some of the best Aussie motor sports I remember from SBS and 7 in the mid 90’s…. Heaven! Thank you 🎉
Top notch effort in editing the sprintcar footage together 👏 That onboard is incredible!
Its crazy you found raw footage like this its actually insanely good quality and most if it is on film cameras too
6:09 That's probably the most spectacular engine clutch failure I think I've ever seen.
holy crap that onboard sprint car footage is nuts!!
6:09 - Holy crap! It's not often I've seen a dragster go up like that. That was pretty cool, actually.
THANK YOU for not making any cringe voice-over for the video ! It feels almost impossible to find any compilation on YouTube without the person who owns the channel talking pointless crap over it. This was TOP quality, thank you !
The Semi racing portion was super cool. From what you could see through the smoke and dust. Being there in person would truly be breathtaking.
3:08 the way the #9 car rolls over nine times and then lands on its side showing #9 is magical
that dirt track sidecar racing is intense. i'm off to watch more vids of that series. excellent compilation video. you Australians are crazy! i approve
That side car motorcycle racing looks scary AF.
6:57 Haha, he acts like he says: "Did everyone see that? Because I will NOT be doing it again!"
If anyone was wondering why the track attendants were dousing the driver when he got out,it's because the fuel burns without a visible flame,so the driver may have let them know "Hey ,I might be burning here"
