Great Release!!!5
What you're getting here is 7-9 minutes or so of highlights from every Daytona 500 to date, including the 2008 edition run just a few weeks ago. The vast majority of the footage is stuff you've never seen.

Check out the amazing color video of Pete Hamilton's win in 1970. Those Superbirds were truly beautiful machines.

Image quality varies from year to year, but overall, it is superb. This is a must-have for any NASCAR fan. One correction should be noted, however. This five-disc set contains just over six hours of material, not the 10 noted in Amazon.com's product infomation for this title.



Correcting a misconception5
Aurele Vanier's comment is not quite correct. Lest anyone think that the 1969 coverage is missing altogether, it IS there on disc 2, but the chapter access for 1969 is indeed incorrect and takes you to 1973. But if you select "Play All" you do get 1969, and fortunately it is the first year covered on the disc, so no real inconvenience.

ERROR4
Disc 2 has an error. The years range from 1969-1978. However the years 1969 and 1973 are identical. They both represent 1973.
