Rare footage makes today's race car drivers look like WIMPS!

OUCH x 1020  Some of those drivers didn't survive.  How about the flaming wreck!!   :eek

Seatbelts!?  Nah.  Roll cages- not yet thought necessary.

After seeing some of their spills, I thought a lot would be out for the count, but they seemed ok enough to get up and run like hell outta the way.
This is way off track, but after noticing a few of them shake their heads then walk away, reminded me of a bloke just out from Holland back about 40 years ago who went ferreting for rabbits - after he'd bagged about 30 he took them home and proceeded to pull them out one by one, wring their necks and toss them onto a heap over his shoulder.
Trouble was he didn't wring 'em far enough and, like the car drivers, they shook their heads and took off :crackup
