    Nice to see someone at these events who can actually grab the car by the scruff of the neck and drive it.

    Seriously fast car. f5000 is just awesome when you consider that it’s nearly as fast as 70s F1 for a fraction of the cost.

      First race I attended was F5000 at Laguna Seca in 1970. My buddy and I were 15 and took his dad's car (no DLs) to the race. I knew then that being a race car driver was my destiny.

    Man, with all the amateurs, this is crazier than Daytona, Craig! Frickin' scary in all these expensive vintage race cars! I was happy to see you start to put it down when you cleared the backmarkers. Nice work, kid. Give our best to Bud and Biz, and Kirt. (and thanks for posting this, Leah!)

    We were at Seattle International Raceway at the vintage races back in the 1990's. About 10 of us were standing around a F5000 waiting to hear it start. Oh, it started alright.....and nearly blew both of my ear drums out! My ears rang for the rest of the day...LOL! Good times at SIR!!!!

    For me this paints the problem of most historic racing stateside. Some epic race cars but only a few of them pushed hard. Compared this to most races at the Goodwood Revival, with front line and current racers pushing them often quicker than in era and it's a palpable difference in 'racing'. Great video and thanks for sharing.

    Man that car was visually so much faster than the others. He had so much more corner speed and braking. Lots of mobile safety cones for him to pass. Almost didn't get one lap with any rhythm as he was blocked by cars he was nearly crashing into they were so slow.
