Replying to: andys120 (Jun 24, 2009 5:17 pm) Yes, the 30's were just as dangerous but the cars were big and heavy... and roomy enough that you could try to jump and at least be a pretty corpse. I was a kid during the early 60's and Jim Clark was a hero to me. Ginther was brave, brave man.... but not foolish enough to drive the 3 liter air-cooled car that followd the RA-272.

Replying to: lokki (Jun 25, 2009 7:34 am) One of the things I came across in my research was the lore of American driver Masten Gregory's trademark "bailouts". If he thought he was going to crash he'd stand up in the seat and pitch himself overboard (apparently he didn't wear restraints). He did this on several ocassions and sometimes injured himself but never seriously enough to cause permanent damage or even miss more than three or four races. Orginally from Kansas City Missouri, Gregory died in his sleep years after leaving racing.
