and thats switchback that they are racing on.

 

 

actually... i have no idea where some of that racing took place.

 

 

most of it looks like switchback because of those turns.

Woops I must have accidentally deleted the link when I edited it. Thanks for the link toast!

That's a great find, Bob (and Toast). I like the quote from the French guy: "If there was no racing taking place, I don't think I'd be skiing in the Poconos." And even though it would be classified as a Super G instead of a DH (there were no SG's back then) it's pretty amazing how they only ran with single netting. It's lucky nobody died, especially with all the pre-releases going on in the one right hand turn with trees on the left.

 

 

 

 

It would be sick it they had a downhill on Switchback...I'd t$$ty F@ck that course..

If they held SG's and DH's in the Poconos, you'd be uber famous by now, Doug. Metzy would never touch you on a speed course, unless a meteor hit you.

 

 

j/k about the last part

Ohhh, now I want to watch Top Gun!

I think my mom had that blue and white suit at 4:38.... which I then inherited for a few seasons.

 

Nice find. Reminds me when my parents used to do ASRA.. which meant a trip up to Killington for the finals every year.

Ha, small world. I'm sure some of the guys are still wearing the same suits, just not zipping them shut.
