"Holy Cow! He's dead!" A lot of guys met their Maker on many of these film footage scenes. Noticed in the early sections of this footage, future Indy 500 Champ winner of the 1960 Indy race - Jim Rathmann.

I’m especially fond of the video showing the crash with the tree growing on the track.

The tree is part of a street course which once was just about all of them. Many of today's big permanent tracks started out that way. The 1930s & '40s coupes rolling and going over embankments is from when NASCAR raced on the beach at Daytona many years before the speedway was built.

As Jay would say...... "back when men were men and women were glad of it" !!!

It is nice to see the cars of that time had a triangle protection for the driver.

they say drifting was invented in 1970s and it was hard, meanwhile average racers in 1940s

Nice to see some had crude roll cages, didn't even get them on production cars till late 2000's

At 8:37 that dude gets barbecued, I can't believe nobody stopped to try to help him get out of the car. "Got to get that #1 position!". Also nothing like some jazz funk to listen to while watching extreme old school carnage

Back at that time the “savvy “ car builder put as much fuel capacity into their machines as possible to go as long as possible without a pit stop! Barbecue’s like this are what, eventually, made them decide to limit tank size! Savage way to go!

Rathman in that shot took my interests immediately. He looked like he didn't want to be in the car, all grouchy looking. But whereas all the other cars looked used and abused, his looked like it came right off a dealersahip's floor. That car had some clean lines.

That first bit looked like lots of fun. Everything today is so corporate and sanitized.

well before the days you can suction cup a go pro on a car filming this was quite the effort i imagine

Oh I see where drifting came from!

please tell me what s the name of the music at the start

Anybody knows the first instrumental in the background music?

Certainly a good argument for crash bars and a 5-point safety belt. However at the time, they all thought the best solution was to be thrown clear of the accident. I don't think I would think that if I was racing at the time.

When it was cool Smoking everywhere..Or the lack of safety regulations..And those Leatherhelmets... Maniacs..🙏🥳

When eat my dust was more than a figure of speech

Поражает беззаботность в вопросах безопасности !

I'm not very wise on the subject but I noticed the smart design detail in the early open tops. First off not having roofs was dumb. I don't care if it made you a wuss or somthing. But if you're not gonna have a roof then having the lack of full sides is very smart. I notice in every roll over the driver is ejected with probably injury but if it was enclosed with the top then the driver would be trapped inside as it rolls over while having a very small window of escape if any
