Now that's what a racetrack should look like! What's Armco? Check out the 2 American Ford sedan deliveries they pass.

That was treat! Please, post more. A few thoughts. Obviously, real roadracing is the stuff of memories. The moment at about 6:28 was hilarious. Also, there was only one camera used to make the whole film! (The forerunner of the GoPro.) Unlike today's stuff, where lack of concentration makes a jump (at least) every two seconds and requires lots of different camera angles, you could really appreciate the driver's vantage point. I was also very impressed at the camera isolation. There was no jiggling or bouncing from either camera. (Unlike the GoPro.) Quite impressive.
