- Once again I 'borrowed' from everyone to put together a tribute. BUT IT'S JAN OPPERMAN!
If you see your stuff here, take it as a compliment- I looked hard all over , and have been saving since before I found myself doing videos. In order to fit this music, I had to cut some excellant pics (that was not easy).
Consider this a 'first try' on an Opperman tribute. It's really my second effort, but I wish to really nail the "point" of what Jan really wanted us to remember. - Авто та транспорт
Rest in peace. Gone but never forgotten
Without a doubt, one of the best Sprint car drivers ever. Thank you for posting this!
Always loved watching him race. One of the best and original outlaws..
I never met him but I heard alot about him and the fact he was one heck of a wheel man.
wonderfully done.picture 4 late teens trippin on acid,watchin the hippie out law vs. the establishment usac and gettin his autograph in vic.lane while his nose bled.been there,done that. jonesy.
I was lucky to see him in action on the track he was sprint car racing .we lost him way to early .his battles with Kenny weld were legendary. They were both great drivers .but watching jan at Terre haute in. Running the cushion was great
I got to see Jan run Tulsa speedway back in late 70s. I didn't know who he was but my buddy told me. We always like having out of towners come in and race. I don't remember how he finished but I do remember him putting on a show. rip
Seen jan every Saturday night at Williams grove as a kid, nice guy and top notch driver!! What a guy
There will never be another man opperman or Kenny weld.may they rest in peace
I met Jan for the first time when I was very young in Beaver Springs, PA. And through the years, I watched him run the #99 and the #4. When I started racing, I ran the #4 on my car. Thank you for this video, it was well done.
Jan was the very best
Nice to see these pics Jan is my cousin. His mom June was my dad’s sister. Oh gosh there’s Tom Sneva! My husband’s friend in college they played basketball at EWU.
When I was 10 I got to meet him at the kon tiki motel in Phoenix my dad knew those guy’s Bubby jones John singer Roger Rager. He actually took the time to just talk to me I immediately knew from that time on what I wanted to do sometimes I still do you see I became a hardcore sprint car guy been blessed built a bunch of them raced some too. It’s all his fault and Bubbys. Thanks guy’s what an adventure.
@TheCapRules93
His talents from God included skills with race cars, and people who needed to understand the concept of forgiveness, in the modern day world. "Legend" he is, and any film of him I find, WILL be posted here, unless someone beats me to it.
Rest In Peace
I watched Jan race in the 70s in pa the very best
Love the video, 8 mm at its best. Love the led Zeppelin too. Jan opperman was a great driver, my dad and I sure enjoyed seing him drive.
Jan Opperman would come to Many Speedway in PHX As and kick-ass no matter were he started loved to see him race
Very cool. Thank you.
I knew Jan, I knew the 99 from the beginning.
@dimpala1964 Thank you. I tried to open a window to those times, even if it was just for a moment.
I've heard from many who competed with Jan that if the right rear tire had air in it he had a chance to win.

The Rain Song-Led Zepplin cover , with a bit of a remix. Can't remember the names of the musicians.
2:12 proof of time travel... #2 on the pole has a down tube frame
That's okay.
No sound track needed.
running open tube injector stacks with out filters doesnt sound like a good idea, one clod of dirt down the engine, means a rebuild, back in those days a GM short block were cheap though
Pipe Organ Stacks!
