Grand Sport Racing in Monterey 2013

I don't know how to imbed a U Tube link so if someone else does please do it here. But suggest you search Utube directory for "Rolex Monterey Motorsport Reunion Edited Race 8-17-13" This is what these cars are meant to do. I love it. This is as close to how it feels that I've seen videoed. Jerry

What a ride!! I remember in 1987 watching Bob Patterson and Jamey Mazzotta duel it out with their Grand Sports (long before repros). As they did the turn just before the grandstand and paddock, they would lift the left rear wheel off the ground as they came out of the turn. That made my 62 Gulf car pale in comparison.

At least 6, plus they had the driver John Morton( Pre Reunion) wired for brain patterns as he drove. part of research?

Mike, nothing pale about your great 62 Gulf car at all! I was also there in 1987 and watched you and Tony drive the car. You had the biggest smile of all of the owners and drivers. What an event the Monterey Historics were in 1987. It has never and most probably never will be matched. Hard to believe it has been 26 years. Great cars, driver's and owners!

Thanks for posting it, I was in the grandstands. For me though, I would rather watch the whole thing from the rollbar mounted camera.

Same here. The video editing changed POV at some of the most frustrating moments.

Picture it.... about to dive down the Corkscrew. Just as the driver begins the turn and you begin to anticipate the roller coaster ride down, the scene switched (repeatedly) to the gaping mouth of the Cobra in hot pursuit. Also, the POV switched repeatedly from the windshield cam to the roll bar cam, completely upsetting the continuity.

It would be a more satisfying video if there were one main, constant view looking forward and then, using picture in picture to show the other, less interesting views.... rear, driver, whatever.

Jerry, Great stuff. Thanks for posting. I wondered where the video from all those cameras was going to show up.

You just made my day. That took care of my cardio training for today and I never left my seat. Thanks.
