Hate to see any of those guys get hurt but that is some GREAT video! How things have changed - imagine Stewart or Montoya or Johnson in those old racecars? ! !

Thanks for posting.

About 1:10 in where the old coupes are rolling in between some wooden structures is at Daytona in one of the transition corners (hi-way to gravel to beach sand) quite a few cars ended up stacked in that same place but none of them hit the wood structures which were legs for camera platforms. There were cameramen up top with the big old reel cameras and I'd bet a couple of them went home in brown pants that day.
