This is really fun to look at! A friend of mine's uncle is driving one of these beasts. Guess ya really had to want to race bad. And I thought some of my early racing was insane.....lol ......Google "Sarina Bowl of Death racing".....

Wow, at least after watching those guys for a while, I know why you can't find a cheap 1928-1932 roadster body anymore.

Isn't that the truth!!! My first two sportsman cars were pretty much stock and (realizing later) not too safe! But they were way ahead of these cars....Fun to see this stuff tho.....

WOW, looks seriously dangerous and a whole lot like automobile motocross, lol...great stuff to watch but not fun to do like that.  I think the Race of Gentleman looks a bunch safer and more fun.  I'm grateful that racing safety has been taken seriously and advanced so far as it has.  Even the late sixties and early seventies were pretty much not very safe.  Thanks for sharing, definitely worth a look.🤗👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎🏁
