It's good to have a family connection to something like that, for
your
son to remember and appreciate. The people who drove those cars had
guts that are hard to believe. During one year of circle-track
racing
in California in the early '20s, an average just under one driver
per
race died in crashes.

That was little different from the chances an aviator of the time
willingly risked.
