[QUOTE="soberups, post: 753599, member: 14668"] Its always fascinating to watch vintage videotape of sporting events from the 60's and early 70's. Graphics that we take for granted, such as the elapsed race time display, were difficult and extraordinarily expensive to produce with the techology of the era. Its funny to see the primitive analog clock rolling off the time like a crooked odometer up in the corner of the screen. And every time the camera passes by something that reflects light it creates a flash that sort of "trails along" due to the poor filter techonogy they had to work with. I can remember as a small child when "instant replay" of NFL football games on network TV was a really big deal and considered state-of-the art high tech stuff. As far as the race itself goes, this is definately an example of "old school" running. They are throwing elbows and pushing and bumping to an extent that would quickly get them disqualified in the modern day. [/QUOTE]
