319.1La Carrera Pan Americana with Pink FloydFLASHE::BURDEN_DA bear in his natural habitatTue Mar 02 1993 09:3223
I was in Blockbuster Video Saturday and came across
a film of the 1990 La Carrara Pan Americana 'event'
with the soundtrack by Pink Floyd.  Nick Mason
ran in the event in a replica of some Jag than ran
one of the original events.

The film is about 90 minutes long and captures
each major part of the event, scrutineering, the
start, various vantage points along the route,
some crashes and the finish.

There is even some vintage footage of the 50's events
which is nice.

The music is pretty good as well, very little narative
while the cars are driving along the road.

When I brought the movie back I ordered a copy for
myself - $19.95.  They should have it in within 2 weeks.

There are even some Studebakers in the race!
