  1. Ejection would be speedy though.

  2. Lotus 11. The "door" on the right is hinged at the bottom just like a Spitfire.

  3. I'm thinking that car was designed for winning rather than escape.

  4. Yeah, safety was evidently not the first priority. Imagine spending hours in that
    space working extremely hard under stress. These guys were very, very dedicated!

  6. sat in a buddy of mine's tunnel hull race boat one time. i commented on how the seat seemed tight. his statement put into perfect focus when he said at 130 it didn't seem tight enough! i rode in a promotional 2-seater with him once and even at a little over 90, i knew xactly what he meant.

  7. My dirt late model has a very low halo roll cage that you have to contort yourself to get into. Every year it gets harder...
