The three trips to Japan for NASCAR are on YouTube, but I don't know if '96's TBS feed was ever added or if it's still the Japanese one. Those might be worth a watch at some point, especially for the bizarre one-off driver combinations. I watched a little of '97's pre-race show last night. Kenny Wallace and Kenny Irwin DORIFTUUUUU and Dale Earnhardt being interviewed by a Japanese man are among the highlights.

Sorry I disappeared last night, my internet has been poo poo for like two weeks now. Also, yeah, the '73 Indy 500 is a loving terrifying race to watch, Imola '94 doesn't hold a candle to it in the least. e- and Fuzzy, you missed two classic 500's last night, I also put up the '60 500 that Smokey won with Rathmann driving the Ken-Paul Special.

Sure! I just put on the 1980 Lumbermens 500 from Mid-Ohio. Second generation F5000 based Can-Am cars, combined field with GT cars, too. I'll restart as soon as someone joins. e- this owns, the cars own and the race is hilarious so far e2- also holy poo poo Hurley Haywood in a not-a-Porsche Seizure Meat fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Jan 4, 2014 |

Ok no one ever showed up, so tomorrow at 8pm EST I'm gonna put on the 1980 and 1981 Lumbermens 500's from Mid-Ohio. Can-Am and GT combined fields, like 40 cars on the track. Relative parity between the two classes. It's actually 3 classes, because the protos are the 5 liter F5000 style, plus a sub-2 liter, Formula 2 version. Stuff like Frisbee Lola's and Holbert Chevrolet's. Then the GT class is stuff like Porsche 935's and Chevy Monza's. So 8pm EST on 1/4/14. They are some pretty cool and obscure races, well worth a watch IMO. Seizure Meat fucked around with this message at 04:16 on Jan 4, 2014 |

They are Diamond P races, but not American Sports Cavalcade. Brock Yates is one of the announcers. Both are 45 minutes long or so, then after that we can find something else. Plus these are the cars immediately before Group C/IMSA GTP. Open cockpit mostly, and really loving wild looking. Almost like a mid-90's WEC car hosed a mid-70's F1 snorkel car.

Just bumping this as a reminder that tonight at 8pm EST I'm going to be playing some second-generation Can-Am from the early 80's at Mid-Ohio. Fun to watch and the car designs are awesome.

I want to see some awesome racing at my hometown track though, so this sounds likes a blast.

Just putting out a feeler- how interested would y'all be in classic F1 stuff, dating back to '84? Would be a stream, not Synctube, but the principle is the same.

If its the race where Prost had to cry to race control about the rain so Senna wouldnt win in his 2nd race, make that poo poo on a sunday night and I am down. Actually if its any race where I get to call Prost a loving bag of tools/Senna does something  Im probably down for.Edit: Personperson14 posted:We're watching the 2001 24 hours of Daytona... Yeah really. If you can find it, watch the 01 Iroc race at Daytona. Its worth it just to see every driver ask "how the gently caress did Earnhardt save that". And Eddie Cheever poo poo himself when he realizes who he ran into the grass going into turn one. PinkFloydBoxSet fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Jan 5, 2014 |

Actually, Senna had a broken suspension when the race was stopped, which meant Stefan Bellof would have won had it continued.  Monaco '96 ruled, too.

It was very hard to pass the leader. Still mad Gordon decided to get hooked by Marlin, he had that race in the bag since no one could pass him and the DEI cars were taken care of... well except Michael.
