| O great American multitude,
and sports fans everywhere. |
00:01:14.654 - 00:01:20.820 |
| Today we inaugurate the 20th annual
Transcontinental Road Race. |
00:01:20.893 - 00:01:26.024 |
| Today the five bravest
young men and women |
00:01:26.099 - 00:01:30.536 |
| in this bravest of nations |
00:01:30.603 - 00:01:33.504 |
| will risk their lives |
00:01:33.573 - 00:01:35.234 |
| in the greatest sporting event
since the days of Spartacus. |
00:01:35.308 - 00:01:39.267 |
| Three days hence, a new American
champion will be crowned, |
00:01:39.345 - 00:01:44.578 |
| for all the world to behold in awe, |
00:01:44.650 - 00:01:48.643 |
| in respect, |
00:01:48.721 - 00:01:50.382 |
| in fear. |
00:01:50.456 - 00:01:52.117 |
| All right, all right. This is Junior Bruce,
your buddy-buddy and mine. |
00:01:52.191 - 00:01:57.595 |
| And I'll be giving you
the blow-by-blow play-by-play |
00:01:57.663 - 00:02:00.962 |
| when the kings and queens
of the open road roar onto the track. |
00:02:01.033 - 00:02:05.527 |
| Do I hear the sound of engines? |
00:02:05.605 - 00:02:08.130 |
| It's "Calamity" Jane Kelly,
queen of the road, |
00:02:08.207 - 00:02:12.041 |
| at the wheel of that
mean old ornery stud Bull. |
00:02:12.111 - 00:02:15.569 |
| Zany Janie, winner of this year's trials
at Watkins Glen, |
00:02:19.519 - 00:02:22.886 |
| placed second in 1998 |
00:02:22.955 - 00:02:24.946 |
| and led at last year's second lap
until she went out with gear trouble. |
00:02:25.024 - 00:02:29.427 |
| Her fans and lovers everywhere
wish Janie better luck this year. |
00:02:29.495 - 00:02:34.125 |
| My fans can wish me
all the luck they want. |
00:02:34.200 - 00:02:36.430 |
