No hogwash. All around me it was so clear most were loving the grim details, eager to pass them on.....
I don’t question what you said about those around you. It was different where I was.......and at that time I typically wasn’t at all sensitive to such things - I was a very self-centered 18 year old.......don’t remember anyone crying.......
I love the excitement of racing; the speed, sounds and feeling. I also liked Hockey when Gretzky played: fast and classy.
Jimmy Clark’s death was sad. But Jochen Rindt’s just spoiled racing for me for some time. I still like drag racing, because you see the entire race and its tremendous power.
There has been a special floating around on cable TV about the changes in Grand Prix safety from the Clark, Rindt days. It’s worth watching.
I was a crew member for 20 yrs,
shook hands with Louie Myer thru Tony Stewart,
I stood on the winners podium with Arie Lyendyck and went to Scotty Braytons
funeral.
Many emotions but never,ever,
SHAME !
