Ponch and Jon go undercover at a raceway to probe a drug ring.

This is the last time that a 1971 Pontiac Firebird Esprit is used as Ponch’s car.
The Ascot Park demolition derby track was on South Vermont Avenue in Gardena. It closed at the end of 1990. The site is currently occupied by Insurance Auto Auctions. View in Google Maps

The first races take place at night, yet the shots of Jon in the pits are obviously filmed in daylight.
Ponch's first two races a supposed to take place on different nights, but the position of the cars/RVs in the car park that can be seen in the background are identical in both.
During the demolition derby at the end, the amount of damage on Ponch's green #40 car, especially the rear, keeps changing.
