And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I actually sat all the way down in Rick Mears winning car one time, with our 5yo son on my lap no less. It was a snug fit even before the son got dropped on my lap. You don't get on those things, you put em on - like a pair of britches. It was at the Indy500 track museum winter 1984.
I've driven a number of similar old school open wheel cars. They are an absolute blast. One that I really liked was an early Formula 5000, basically like the car above with a 5L Chevy V8 that made 500HP. The engine was not a fire breathing monster like Nascar engines are, but it was good, the car was light and the fun was epic.

ReplyDeleteA commute In a old 60s F-1 car would be a thrill
