As a long time race fan when I first followed racing in USACs midget and sprint car division it was 1966. It was a horrible year as four of the drivers JJones752 mentioned and three I listed died that year. As a young kid full of invincibility it was tough to see but you coped as back then it was part of racing, a bad part but a part.

Today racing is still dangerous but not like the old days. I'm quite a bit more reflective than in 1966 and having seen the deaths of family and friends. When there is a death in racing, especially of one you talked to numerous times and joked around with it is almost too much to take. Thank God we don't go through this several times a year.
