Awesome pic, awesome cars. Love the adjustable rear antiroll bar hanging out in the breeze on the back.
I think by today’s criteria we’d be appalled at the carnage though.

I’m reading some historical books on American champ car and stock car racing, I’d forgotten the number of driver (and spectator) fatalities that happened on a regular basis.

Of course a lot of these guys had survived wartime combat and were kind of hardened to the whole idea of death.

yup, truly the golden age, and you're right, those were hard men coming home and a little death and danger was no big thing...
