Visit https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm Visit our website www.PeriscopeFilm.com Dating to 1963, "The Clock" is presented by Ramsey Corporation, maker of Ramco Harmonized Piston Ring sets. The film provides a detailed account of the 1963 Atlanta 500 race, starting with Nelson Stacy's crash while the narrator is ruminating the impersonal nature of time. The film highlights the precision required in time trials, Junior Johnson's record-setting qualifying run, and the preparations of other notable drivers. The narrative covers pre-race activities, including safety clinics and pit crew contests, and describes the anticipation and delays due to rain. As the race begins, Junior Johnson takes an early lead but faces car troubles, allowing AJ Foyt and others to compete for the lead. The race is marked by mechanical failures, pit stops, and intense competition, with Fireball Roberts and Fred Lorenzen emerging as key contenders. Drivers struggle with carbon monoxide poisoning, and Lorenzen ultimately wins the race. The film ends as the narrator reflects on the significance of time in racing and the various factors that contributed to Lorenzen's victory. 00:00 - 0:09: Introduction 0:09 - 0:50: Nelson Stacy's crash at the 1963 Atlanta 500, describing his injuries and the impersonal nature of time. 1:07 - 1:17: Time trials and the importance of precision in racing. 1:17 - 1:51: Junior Johnson sets a new track record during qualifying. 1:51 - 2:19: Overview of other notable drivers and their preparations. 2:19 - 3:00: Mechanics work on cars to prepare them for the race. 3:00 - 3:48: Drivers and crews make final adjustments and practice runs. 3:48 - 4:24: Pre-race activities and the importance of safety. 4:24 - 5:00: Youth Clinic emphasizes safety in racing. 5:00 - 5:39: Pit crew efficiency contest. 5:39 - 6:00: Final inspections before the race. 6:00 - 6:18: Fans gather at the track. 6:18 - 7:00: Race day activities and the anticipation of the start. 7:00 - 7:57: Rain delays the race, but it eventually clears up. 7:57 - 8:18: Drivers start their engines and take their positions. 8:18 - 8:52: The race begins with Junior Johnson taking an early lead. 8:52 - 10:02: Early laps and initial incidents, including a spin-out. 10:02 - 11:00: Johnson's car troubles and his exit from the race. 11:00 - 12:00: AJ Foyt takes the lead, followed by other contenders. 12:00 - 13:00: Various drivers face mechanical issues and drop out. 13:00 - 14:00: Pit stops and the importance of quick service. 14:00 - 15:00: More drivers face issues, and the race continues. 15:00 - 16:00: Fireball Roberts takes the lead. 16:00 - 17:00: Drivers struggle with carbon monoxide poisoning. 17:00 - 18:00: Fred Lorenzen takes the lead. 18:00 - 19:00: More mechanical failures and driver changes. 19:00 - 20:00: The race continues with intense competition. 20:00 - 21:00: Lorenzen maintains his lead. 21:00 - 22:00: Final laps and the battle for the lead. 22:00 - 23:00: Lorenzen wins the race. 23:00 - 24:00: Post-race reflections on the importance of time in racing. 24:00 - 25:00: The impact of carbon monoxide poisoning on drivers. 25:00 - 26:00: The race's conclusion and Lorenzen's victory. 26:00 - 27:00: Reflections on the role of the clock in racing. 27:00 - 28:00: Final thoughts on Lorenzen's win and the significance of time.
