Belletts Racing?

Post by Pombellett »

Eagle eyed Polara Jim spotted this bit of classic footage on You Tube, we reckon the date is completely wrong and that there's a teardrop running around about 5th and maybe a spinning strip light later on. Oh , and is that a GT ramming a little 2 seater in the second race?

Oh dear, I think we've turned into Bellett spotters. And, by the way, how the hell can I get me one of those Prince Skylines???

OMG :shock: 11 out of 10 on that one, Pom. We have seen several posts on race results from the era, but this is so cool in the flesh !!

The GT 2000 looks like the hare being chased in race 2. Also makes you realize how crazy these dudes were hangin' it out, flat to the boards.
And whoopsie, poor GT Bellett, something had to get in it's way :oops:

Riverting stuff,

That was amazing! Good footage and the fact that the timing has been sped up a bit makes it a bit more, uh, fast!

Cheers for that!
