1981 Lumbermens 500K Mid Ohio Sports Car Course
A great track to get good photos, before they put up so much unnecessary debris fencing that you now feel like entering Stalag 13.
Excellent, thanks
Nice to see those BMW M1's and Porsche 935's racing. And a rare 924 Carrera GT
WOW! Look at the variety in this series.
Anyone else like the old layout with the keyhole chicane better?
Nope. Less chicanes is much better high speed racing.
Thank you
Come to my house to
It was strange for me to see Bertil Roos behind the wheel of the 2 liter car because I earned my racing license at his school in may of 1994. One of the things that Bertil was famous for saying is "the grey stuff has more grip than the green stuff and your lap times are faster when you're shiny side up"
I was there! My dad and I loved going to Mid-Ohio at least a couple of times a year. Full disclosure. This was a looong race. We left before it ended.
I was also there. This was a fun weekend. I was in love with the 935K3s.
Go Hobbo! Nice race win. RIP Brock Yates, Brian Redman, and Jim Trueman.I'm from central Ohio, and graduated high school in 1980, so this era of sports cars at MidOhio has a special place in my memory bank.
Brian Redman is still very alive.
Just turned 81
See how genuinely gutted he was when rival Morton went out of the race. Class Act Redman.
RIP Brock Yates!
This was during a time when the SCCA's two main pro series were the Can-Am and Trans-Am.IMSA was the sole long distance sportscar series.Times have changed.
This was a great race during a great era.
Hey, this isn't Breakfast at Wimbledon...
Wow, I didn't expect to see an early GTP car on the grid. It's cool to see the early appearances of the cars that would dominate global sportscar racing into the '90s.
The Lola GTP was a good car.It wasn't as successful as the Porsche 956 or the 962.
Watching these old races is pure gold. I was just a kid learning to ride a bike when this race was run. Thanks for uploading. :)
30+ years before the Go-Pro camera. Laughed at the size of the camera on that demonstration car. This brings back great memories since I was there that day.
Thanks for posting this,very few videos of road racing before 1984 on youtube. Thanks again
Now this is interesting. Diamond P Sports did coverage for the sport car event in Mid-Ohio in the early 80's. This was before American Sports Cavalcade, and Gil Stratton (never heard of him) doing commentary, before Steve Evens. Also, Brock Yates doing commentary in the pits. Interesting clip.
Thanks for the video...a little before my time but great to see the old machines
I just love Sportscar racing.....awesome!!!
Are you going to be posting more of these?
