Default ESPN Classics is a cool channel

I just recorded the 1981 Indy 500. Its cool to see these races that I was way to young to watch the first time around.

Wow, Bobby Unser and Mario Andretti are still going at it after 25 years.

Some of the old 80s NASCAR races are pretty fun to watch; much more of the old school bump & run. I noticed in one Darlington race that they showed way more in-car footage than they do these days.

Yeah, I think MattR made me watch an old Las Vegas race from the early-mid 80's. It was actually kind of a fun race to watch.

That was a Phoenix race. Old NASCAR footage shows you why Darrel Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt had such bad reputations. I swear Earnhardt never made a single clean pass between 1979 to 1987.

Hell, even into the mid 90s. There was a Bristol race I think in 1995 where he got caught out and lapped on a pit stop, and got pissed and spun out like 15 or 20 guys on the way to get his laps back and win the race. Rusty Wallace threw a water bottle at him in the winner's circle.

Bump.

I scrolled past ESPN classics again tonight, and they were playing American Gladiators.

Awesome!
