These are the men who built the sport. Many, many race cars were laid out in chalk on a garage floor, and built using the materials at hand. (The narrator mentions that Joe's previous digger used drive shafts as the main tubes....)
Joe was above average from his peers in his engineering prowess - witness the torsion bar front end....

But, yeah, in hindsight, so many things could have gone wrong....clutch, fuel, material stress and fatigue, weird harmonics, tire failure.......>shudder<
