Title: Walt Hane Interview - 5R103: 1965 1966 racing season
Post by: silverton_ford on November 09, 2021, 10:23:50 AM
Here is a video I just converted from VHS to digital and then uploaded it to Youtube for your viewing pleasure.  :-)  This came from the collection of the late Hans Pedersen and from Rick Kopec before Hans. 

Walt answers a list of questions and responds to what is going on in the film.  This is an amazing interview and probably one of the most authentic I have seen.  The film itself is amazing.  The quality is not perfect, but what is here makes up for the imperfections.   When have we seen 5R099 before & after it crashed?  Great footage here.

Enjoy.

If you have read the book "Racing to Riverside: Untold Story of Walt Hane" then this video puts this book to life.  A great book to go along with this interview.

"And that was a 427 Vette and a Cobra I just lapped."  Ka boom!  The Shelby Mustangs were incredible underdogs.

I bought this book and read it.  I can recommend it A plus.
