This particular race and video were done on January 20th, 1979 for a local TV station which broadcast it in the Bay Area and then it went syndicated across the nation, exposing America to "Klunking".
I love this video and have watched it many times, along with the documentary "Klunkerz". I dare anyone to go watch some clips from VisionQuest or Gross Anatomy on Youtube and then tell me the blond stoner at 50 seconds in is not a young Matthew Modine before he became famous. I know it's not him but the physical resemblance and speech pattern similarities are remarkable.
