I think that was the longest 4 minute video I have ever watched.

Most of those drivers were without seatbelts and roll cages and the tracks were about as dangerous as one could imagine. It is a good reminder about how exposed we actually are.

My father-in-law was a factory rider for Moto Guzzi in the 50s and most of his collegues didn't survive. He managed to break just about everything breakable at one time or another. We still have his leathers and a couple of his helmets as a reminder of how much track safety regulations have changed. He was very cynical about the spectators and used to say that they came to see the crashes but that that was what he was paid for.
