That is actually the end of "Buck Privates Come Home" re-done as a short.

Pretty cool.

The announcer is none other than Milburn Stone ("Doc" from Gunsmoke).

Yes. I have the diecast diorama of Gilmore with the 5 vintage midget set. The scoreboard in the background is a dead giveaway. Cool vintage footage! :thumb

I believe the farmers market and a movie studio are there now. If I remember right, there is a plaque there to honor it.

I wonder who was actually doing the driving? Whoever it was, they had great car control spinning the thing around many times. I was impressed.
