When you could easily read the numbers on the cars.

What's that guy on the left doing... trying to get a buzz from the exhaust fumes? :eek: :D

There are still plenty of men (and a few women) willing to go wheel to wheel without seat belts:

I can't see the flag, but I think he's the starter! Even the starter walked aroundwith brass balls! And this is the FRENCH race. Imagine how close, say, the GERMAN starter would have gotten to the action!

(JO-king!)

True, and can go very fast too, but you don't run across the track & jump in and go...:p
That being said, 125cc shifter carts are a blast:D

Oops... meant to say the guy on the right. Maybe he just got finished doing something to the 10 car.

If you want to read about a man among men, read about Tazio Nuvolari sometime. Simply one of the greatest of all time, yet overlooked most of the time.
