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.

Sam Posey and Peter Revson settle a difference of opinion regarding a racing incident. Riverside. 1970.
Race-ist....oh Lord...the good old days! I was 17 in the mid 70’s, went to visit relatives in California near Bakersfield and my cousin took us to a dirt track where I had the opportunity to take a few laps in one of his friends hopped up auto-mo-beels.... they all looked astounded when I parked her and wondered aloud where I learned to drive like that?? I just shrugged and said “runnin from the sheriff in Texas”... Never spent a day in jail...lol
Sometimes the only way to have a meeting of the minds is to beat each others brains out.

ReplyDeleteThey did much the same thing in NASCAR during that time period, except they had tire irons in the mix.
