Love that sound for what they were built to do on a road course. Love the corvette and I get teary eyed riding along.

Great video. Loved watching the vette leaving the porsches in the dust. Funny seeing a studebaker in the race. The red comet was doing well also. The driver deserves accolades for his skill.

Wow, I got goosebumps man. That was a hard fought comeback

That L88 makes such a beautiful noise, really liked watching the cars it passed get small, awesome video!!

That was a LOT more fun to watch than I expected it to be, loved every minute of it! 👍

Could watch these C3’s run all day.

This is gold to watch and hear - proper raw mechanical racing with a great loud V8!

One hell of a workout! Some good driving right there.

Man, he was not afraid to drive that car hard especially after spinning out in the infield. Pure American muscle. Except no substitute.

I'm thinking the lead Vette is one of the old Greewood vette's ...and if so well they were always the class of the pack with really well worked over 427 L88s with Drive lines to match ..Brutal competition .and a handful to hold on too ....Smiles ear to ear the entire race ..

Nothing sounds quite like an L88 , that signature snarl 🏁💪🏼🤩🤩

Awesome vid. The speed he carries through the corners is tremendous. Car must be very well set up! Much more entertaining than modern racing (F1)!

Way to battle back, Matt! I had a similar experience at Rose Cup a few years back, in a packed 54 car ITE field. An early off, battled back to 5th over-all. While not getting the podium, it was one of my favorite drives, working through the field to make up for the early mistake...

Love putting distance on the 911's great racing!

Amazing comeback and battle for the lead. Very entertaining.

Excellent!!! Racing!! Excellent Sounds!!! Excellent Sights!! My goodness! Best thing I've watched in some time! What a Comeback drive!!

Damn. You talk about one hard racing SOB! I'm not sure what your L88 is worth but you drive the hell outta that thing. Love the video and you are the man!

I really enjoyed that! After binning it on the start, he repassed everyone. Proper job! 👍 And what a car! ❤ Paul 😎

Super exciting - Thanks for the ride Matt!

Great job, was as exciting to watch as I'm sure it was for you to drive it :)

What a brute. Great driving, Dude.

Youve heard it from everyone but it just show to never give up... way to battle back and great driving fun to push push push... awesome.

Absolutely thrilling, Sweet sweet big block music!

That big old 427 eats them alive in the straight. Love the sound, wish I could b see the tach

Come back Matt, and talk Dave K and Eric D into joining you! We really miss you guys in SOVREN big bore!

Very impressive come back love the attack!

Cant believe i watched whole thing only cars that gave him any trouble were other vettes loved hearing that ole big block do its thing

C3s have always been my favorite race cars.

Tires were cold.. Nice run.. nothing beats a corvette except another corvette

Dude.. what a ride😍

Drove it like ya stole it! Awesome fight back.

That was awesome !!!!!

Man that was awesome!

427 Heaven !!

That car LOVES it's HP/Torque red line!!

Have a 2nd design L88 short block in my z28. Square port Cast iron open chamber heads, big cam

Matt - Your car is simply awesome. When I was a little boy I used to see Jerry Thompson and Tony Delorenzo in their A production OCF Corvettes; what memories and thanks for preserving. P.S. - avoid stabbing throttle and never get on power before apex ;-)

Brutal AF!!

going like there is no tomorrow :)

Driver: holds the steering straight car: we turn... Driver: what ? wth car: I SAY WE TURN NOW

Awesome video! Who was in the #37 car???

What happened to the silver Cobra that took the lead when he spun ?

Exhilarating footage, all these big production film companies have to do is watch stuff like this to model after, no sound effects or mixing to ruin the real music. Most racing or driving movies are a let down in this arena they just can't keep it real with pure and simple unmolested mechanical music.

Now is that a stock 427 or has it been gone over? What are the rules for motors do they have to be the cubic inches the car was built with or what? i seen a couple. Of what looked like L81's not sure iff those dudes were sand baging or didant have the power..

Is the vette a former Owens Corning Tony D car?

Revs like a small block, pulls like a big block… C H E V Y 4 2 7 C.I.D.

Goes through the chicane, chugging about to die......BLAAAAAAAAAAH, BLAAAAAAAAAAH, BLAAAAAAAAAAAAH

i feel as im dying with the great cars.. i miss letting out my heart 110% .. fuck this era. also, the convertable vette at 12:00 ish is hilarious because it looks like driver is wearing sun hat or some shit haha (look beyond the fingers to see it)

77 corvette steering column turned into garbage. What can i replace it with? Please help

News Headline- "Man spins car 3rd turn of first lap, angrily stomps right foot for 20 laps, Finishes 2nd."

The white #37 Corvette was recently listed on BaT ... bringatrailer.com/listing/1969-chevrolet-corvette-43/ ... nice car, and fast. I never understand why some drivers "blatt" "blatt" blatt" the throttle through the corners if they had a smooth throttle technique, they'd have faster corner speed, and less spin outs.

16:00. Great L88 battle

...now if i could only put that in my Fiat 500.😮😮

What 's the difference in horsepower to the Porsche Carreras? They and all other cars seem to park!?

I might well have heard this car, or one like it, as I Live within a mile of this track.

Excellent! Man, some of those backmarkers and field-filler guys wouldn't know an apex if it bit them in the ass. Apparently they have the funds to either buy a car or have one built...so they can go out and play "race driver"....clueless and dangerous.

Racing how it should be !.....Dirty, exciting but fair ! no fucking, boring rules to create excitement!!!!....

That Porsche might spit fire but it's got nothing on an L88

This was like a great sermon in Church. It just went by way to fast.

Driver error. This is vintage racing, not the demolition derby...

leave it to a green VW bug to get in the way

The Cobra won by over a mile that day.. After he spin out the Cobra checked out..

Absolutely Bad To The Bone

Not as interesting or as definitive as a drag race
