Great video, Periscope Films should give you a shout out for letting race fans know that they have racing films. I am a NASCAR fan (Old School), and I watch old military films by Periscope Film, but didn't even know that had racing footage from when I was coming into the sport in my teens. Thanks CudaRebels!💯
Thank you so much for the kind words! I had no idea this even existed either as I had come across the footage looking for images of the race on google. I too now appreciate the Old school style racing more than new simply because I always loved the full on, flat out style racing for the FULL 500 miles (Yes, I do think the new "Chase" format can smell cat turds) as well as the cars at least more RESEMBLING a real car I would drive on the street, unlike todays Jellybeans with Camaro and Camary logos slapped on them. Anyways, I have no need to be gratified from the guys from Periscope as I just figured out they DO in fact have the full the full film available on their channel just extremely well placed among all of 8000 other greatly preserved films, and I updated my description with the link to it because of that. Again, thanks for the nice comment and have a wonderful holiday! ☺👍
Just what I needed today, a "shot" of the past! Can never get enough of (imo) the best era of racing. Fan since '74 as a young kid hooked on CBS,ABC's coverage, and a student of its preceding years, checking out library books from school, losing??? them, PAYING for them and having my own "library" of NASCAR Grand National history. I couldn't get enough!! Still have a library of yester year. Mondern day....NO. Library closed for business 2001.
There were no stock parts in 1971 either. 1971 would have benefitted every way from the depth of fields we have today with 30 cars in the lead draft instead of three
I had thought so too, but like you correctly stated, it hasn't surfaced yet. Hopefully with "Nascar classics" releasing all their footage of the sport, they may have it/upload it one day.
The winner driving a 2 year old Merc. In 1971 the Wood Bros. alternated between this 1969 Cyclone & a new 1971 Mercury Montego. (Fred Lorenzen "used up" the last remaining 1969 Mercury the Woods had, trying to qualify for the Southern 500 at Darlington.
Very cool to know! I think this was the beginning of this "if ain't broke don't fix it format" as many drivers including stars like David Pearson and Richard Petty would continually win 1977 races in "new" models from 1974. Dick Brooks made the final win for Plymouth at Talladega in 1973, driving a 1971 Roadrunner.
@@CudaRebelsAutoModeling426 True. This was the beginning of the "malaise" era of cars from Detroit. The new ones couldn't be made competitive so NASCAR relaxed their rules to let Petty keep running his 1974 Charger thru 1977. Other makes as well.

When Nascar was Nascar. Few stock parts in anything running now.😮

ABC did this race live but the video has yet to surface.

This was real men in real cars.
💯 true! I think because those guys were old pros and raced much harder then, so they simply put on a better show. 🏁
