That was the time camcorders were just becoming popular, so someone possibly has footage of that race on VHS or BETA. Kelly's motor sport Park, Batavia, N Y. I'd love to see that race
after waiting to do the mandatory pit stop, my chain went sailing-coasted into pit area-cut a new chain-got started and went back out- finished 6th. I think that was a labor day event as well. was using an early Margay, with 4 way disc brakes, it didn't even have a front porch on it, must have been early 70's chassis with either an MC7 or a MC91
Note any VHS tapes with a white powder coating on the edge of the spool, don't play it, tear the cassette apart to clean the fungus or mold that developed on it over the decades
Playing before cleaning can render the take useless
I suppose this also goes for later VHS-C as well as BETA and 8mm..
