A question about the DVD Daytona Race.
Does it show the NASCAR Trans Am Pace Car?

Thanks,

George

Either year.
But I would love to see some video of the '83 Pace Car more.
When you say bad, you can make out the cars, right?

I'll have a look at the 83 video again to see if they show the pace car. The video looks like an old VHS tape copied onto DVD. Its a bit grainy and foggy at times, but sometimes clear as a bell. Although the racing was much more exciting back then, the race brodcasts left a lot to be desired.

Chances are the pace car may only be shown in a long shot pacing the field.

If its any good, I may be able to make you a copy. I have a DVD recorder but have yet to try it.

The pace car does make some cameo appearances. A close up nose shot. pacing the field, and a long shot as it gets ready to pull in the pits. It may show up in other places during the race but I took a "NASCAR nap" and didn't see it.
