Sorry if this is a repost but it's fantastic. 1980s autocross on TV
 

This is pretty awesome.

Their is so much crap on cable now, I don't understand why something like this cant be on tv!

Those commercials tho lmao!

It was. Speed channel had all kinds of amateur racing mostly under the 'Lucas Oil something or other' as well as WRC, I saw some rallycross, some karting, some Lemons along with a ton of dirt track sprint/midget/late models and trophy trucks. Nobody watched it so they started making crappy 'reality game shows' to try and stay profitable and having at least 2 hours of new NASCAR coverage a day, then NBC/Comcast bought it.

Ahh.. I remember the Lucas Oil shows under Speed Channel... Those were great...

With Speed Channel gone, I no longer know what channel to ask the bartender to switch the tv to when something stupid like baseball is on. We also canceled satellite at home.

Comcast ruined my life.

People still watch TV?

That was good though...i like that.

I saw the price for the 8mm VHS camcorder and just about fell out of my chair.

What a great watch, Loved seeing the old AE86s, even if they had an ungodly amount of body roll.

nice.. reminds me of the 80's skip barber promotional video.

found this randomly when i was doing the skippy series in iracing.

the guy data logging at 38 minutes really cracked me up for some reason.

The 80s were a hell of a time.

When this was made, 4 year old me had no idea what he was missing.

Le gem!

Thanks for the post
