I agree with Gary Bettenhausen. He said in an interview with Chris Economacki at Terre Haute, "When they make these things so safe that those people up there (pointing to the stands) can come down here and do what I do, I QUIT."
They was alot slower and heavier, smaller tires back in the day but it still took a set of b*lls to race them. I am also proud to say my father raced midgets and sprintcars without cage.
