This video got me to remember a USAC road race at Texas World Speedway at College Station TX in December 1970.
It was a six-hour event that started around 4:00pm, ended at night and was run on the long course that winds inside and outside the 2-mile oval.
Two things stood out about that race.
One was two astronauts from Houston with a white 911 Porsche that had the first electro-luminescent door numbers I had seen. Odd watching the green numbers circulating around the track at night.
Other thing was two guys from Monterrey Mexico showed up with a red 1967 notchback Mustang. Car looked too stock to even be allowed to race.
That Mexican Mustang was FAST and the guys driving it were good. The car either won its class or won overall.
Still laugh about those guys and their sleeper Mustang.
ETA: Eased over to their pits a couple times half expecting to see the Rodriguez brothers. Folks said these guys were regulars at the Monterrey Autodromo.
