The the young kids may have their extreme sports and x games, but take a look at this, all I can say is, well I don't know quite what to say, love the part when he says something like "I think we left the Germans behind when I started dragging my arm in the dirt" Enjoy.

Yeah, that link got sent around to my NJ/MG group too. Really, really something! We were just at Louden/NHMS for the NH Vintage event. As well as vintage cars (like mine) the event includes vintage sidecars. Here are some of the folks I've seen racing there over the last 7 years since I've been going to this event.-----> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgyIHtR_nKg

Kids and their sports, think they are tough, but try it in the fifties with no safety equipment and continually beating themselves up. Let alone the equipment then was not as tech as now.

When I was a kid, pop used to take us to the motorcycle races. Dirt track oval, mostly running modified ex military Harley 45s. Steel plate on the left foot, thick leathers on the legs and rode them like mad men! Sliding around the corners, sometimes throwing dirt over the track wall. Those guys had guts! They were heroes to us kids. Oh how times change. PJ
