Thanks for posting this video even though it has been up six years! First time I had seen footage of the Foyt/Cogan incident which appears to me either Cogan moved down or Foyt drifted into his left rear... what a mess for Cogan as his career really got off to a bad start.

Thanks for the video. Great era of fascinating automobiles

As they mentioned, the next year (1983) CART did add more road races. The last race of '83 was their first year at Laguna Seca and the beginning of 18 years of working on the pit lane for CART, one of the most enjoyable and exciting times of my racing life. Unfortunately a time cut short by politics, but I'm thankful for the friends that came into my life during that time

4:00 Middle school Al jr...lmao. christ he looks like he should be getting ready for a little league baseball game, not driving one of these monsters.

What the video fails to mention is that after Al Jr's morning warmup crash and frantic effort to get the car back together the SCCA let him take the track solo for a few shakedown laps during the break prior to the final race. There was no other sound other than his car and on his second lap he tried to take turn 2 flat, lost the rear, chopped the throttle for a millisecond as the car wiggled a bit then right back in it. Next lap he was flat through the same turn and the crowd went nuts. Those days were cool as they would run an SCCA National on Fri/Sat mixed with the CanAm event on Sat/Sun. I was wrenching for a buddy on his H prod Sprite and we all got pit passes for the whole weekend. Good times.

Shot the entire race in 1974 at Riverside raceway. Yes, the ground did shake.

UN TRES GRAND CHAMPION PEUT ETRE LE PLUS GRAND

Crazy how far racing broadcasting has come

Fangio foi o maior, e pronto. O resto trilhou no seu caminho

38:10 Rick Mears not knowing where victory lane was, lol.

How many car finish this race

Hey Brian! I love your videos - trying to find a way to contact you about potential reuse - can you let me know the best way to do that? Thank you!

I miss Riverside. Great circuit

Don’t forget your helmet….here’s your handkerchief 😂

Seems a bit hypocritical to hear him bang on about the importance of the family...given he never married, and never recognised any of his 3 sons.

How does AJ not run a road course for 5 years?

No words. Thankyou.🌹

Stirling Moss rated him as the greatest driver , and those were the days when racing was really dangerous , unlike today , when playing dominoes is more hazardous .

Each country had great drivers and Fangio was great! In the US we had AJ Foyt!🇺🇲

Not even close to the CanAm no big block all aluminum chevy engines inches behind your head

notice Bobby Rahal's name is misspelled on his firesuit!

Foyt got creamed by Hector Rebaque in the Michigan 500 that same year.

The cars were just so cool. Looked like they were from a kid's imagination.

i was there at age 8 did not stay kinda regret it too y all sad gordy had another bad race

I never knew Jenner did commentating....better at this that pit reporting which was beyond cringe. What do you think the odds you could have gotten from Paul Page if you'd have bet him that the man sitting with him doing color commentating and the olympic gold medal winner in the decathelon would one day in the future be a woman named Kaitlin? Anyway, I think in the dictionary under 'race car driver' there should be a picture of Rick Mears...absolutely the quintessential driver and the best of the best era of American open wheel racers. Even the name sounds fast.

Fangio came to European F 1 racing at an age when today’s F 1 drivers are retiring. Fangio was a true gentleman driver and always raced fairly and whatever team he was racing with he always got the best out of car. A very respected world champion.

Can Am, almost feel that the history of auto racing should have an asterisk next to it, all of the cars were on steroids!!! Love it !

Just thought about it, one of the only road courses that you could see all of the track from the grand stands.

What a flash back! I miss it.

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe .

this race felt like an exhibition race because of how short it was, especially for a Michigan race

Little Al's very first IndyCar race!

The most impressive thing about Fangio’s accomplishments isn’t his 5 championships, IMO. It’s participating in those insane 15 to 20 day South American open road capital-to-capital races in the 1940s, and winning them.

Al Unser Sr,. what a class act. His daughter had just died less than two months before at age 21 in a dune buggy accident you can see is sorrow and hear it in his voice, but is still a pro in the interviews.

Rutherford crashed again. he already had broken fingers.

Amazing, Al Unser Jr. first CART race. Also just weeks after his sisters death. Thinking of his mom.

Just checked, NBC will not cover the Atlanta race with was rained out pushed to May 1st and not shown on TV.

Didn’t see AJ Foyt listed.

Great stuff Brian! Thank you for finding this treasure.

Ich habe Fangio 1991 zu seinem 80sten Geburtstag gratuliert. Ich schrieb ihm ein paar Zeilen und erhielt nach 2 Wochen einen Brief von Mercedes Benz/Argentinien mit einer Karte mit Unterschrift von ihm. Ein Gentleman. Eine Legende.

RIP Bob Jenkins, Gary Lee, & Larry Nuber.

RIP John Paul, Jr.
