Back in the days when safety was secondary.
And some of those guys walked away!!!

Wow!  Some of those open car crashes are difficult to watch.

We like to think that everyone walked away with their lives and most of their limbs.

I have a feeling that's not the case in many of those shown.

Yeh thanks Mick, what Gordon said - and hard to watch but good to see at the same time.
I actually don't mind the song either.

Wow..3:20 made me cringe...they cut the video right before it looks like the car's about to roll over his head...painful to watch.

2:20 has a guy looking like a rag doll flying through the air.

There was a death trap visited every year by indy drivers in Atlanta.  The Lakewood stadium track claimed at least one indy winner.  These guys were real daredevils.

THOSE boys had balls of titanium.  Damn.....

Surprising seat belts weren't thought of sooner?  Tough SOB's.

Tough SOB's.

Hard men like these guys is what we need.
