This brings back fond memories of the Runoffs in the 80s. Our first Newman sighting was at Summit Point in 76 when Newman was racing both a Datsun 510 and a Triumph TR250. Think we all miss Paul.
I was driving one of the wreckers at the Vancouver indy and paul newman came and hung out in our corner with some underprivileged kids from one of his camps, super nice and cool guy , very humble in person.....
As we learned, the term actor was not used to him. He was a racer period. Prior to Datsun he several times drove in the National Runoffs at the wheel of a Triumph TR-250. That includes his first National Championship at the wheel of one. His summation at the awards banquet that night was "SCREW THE OSCARS! "
Blackburn's daughter(later Derek Daly's wife) and her girlfriend skinny dipped with me at Road America, at the June Sprints. Maybe 1972 or 73. They were staying at the house next to us at the lake.
wow such an amazing upload thank you so much for this. Too young to witness this but love Paul and love Datsun Z's Wish there was more content from the end of the glory days
Great! Thank you for your very valuable video. The 200sx was unpopular in Japan and sales were sluggish, probably because of the unbalanced design between the upper and lower waists, but I love it. The number of units produced in the sales period of less than 4 years is 48,438. It's hard to find in Japan even though it was sold so many. On the used car market, some good ones can exceed $30,000. The price has become unaffordable.
Being a Datsun guy since the 60's this warms my heart.

Amazing cars and colorful characters, didn’t get any better than this.

Datsun noticed.
this, in my opinion, is the coolest type of racing
I saw Paul Newman at Road Atlanta several times when I was a teenager. He and Joanne Woodward were fantastic people.

Paul Newman's first Road Atlanta championship came in a privately entered Triumph TR-250. The next five came in Datsun/Nissan cars.
winding the clock back,
Rock on Champ. The LORD Bless you and yours..

I haven't seen this since the early 1980's. Was rare to see something abstract about motorsports on TV back then.
Saw Newman race both cars at the Glen. Great times.
Baby those tires, baby.
Back in the hay day of SCCA racing.
Excellent, thanks
Great video! Thanks for the upload
Those Datsuns could really tear it up.
Go Paul and the amazing Datsuns.

How much did they Pay Paul to drink that Beer on the Podium! I thought drinking and driving don't mix!

On the podium? Like *after* the race?
He is Done driving ....time for a recovery beverage 🍺
