Amazing the dedication and knowledge of the auto necessary to race in those days.. I'd love to see some of these "primmed" drivers of today do anything even remotely close to this..
Then: 3 men have died this race. Now: Someone broke their shoulder; let’s redesign, standardize, and rewrite the safety book and get everyone to sign it before next race.
