If you have an hour to spare, here's a good video on racing in the mid 70's from Grassroots Motorsport:

Rick, thanx for posting that video,,,it was great,, a tribute to the naughty boys, the courage of Niki Lauda, the phenominal danger
of motor racing, the exquisite thrill of the win, as Niki Lauda when asked about being afraid of the danger, he said "it's not the danger, it's more the intrigue"................................

Interesting. Being a whitewater guide in the early '80s was a bit like that, though without the money and the publicity. The danger and the women were there though. An absolute blast.
