Yep I’ll bet there is only one blue 26-27 roadster on deuce rails ever made with white walls and small hub caps…

 

Driver looks a little to relaxed there. He,s not worried about a roll cage thats for sure. Maybe a beer to many at the pre-race BBQ.

 

Hope he has great brakes. Bump that nose into a trash can and he immediately goes through the meat grinder.

 

Both roadsters are 1930-31 Ford. I don't know about the other roadster, but my roadster is channeled on a 1932 Ford frame.

 

Another car I would have liked to see run. I can see it has independent front suspension and am wondering if it is the torsion leaf, saw pics somewhere. Ford pulled the design as was very inadequate.

 

Kind of reminds me of this:

 

If it rolls over, or hits something, a roll bar or a roll cage probably isn't going to make much difference. The guy is still going to be part of the big ball of fire.

For some people, life is really about the thrill of doing it, safety becomes just a word some scared people like to throw around. Imagine the the feeling of someone lighting off a rocket your butt is strapped onto. A very limited group of people will ever know that feeling. I'm not going to be one of them, but I sure am happy I had a chance to watch a few of those that did, back then.
