Super cool video...safety has come a long way!

 

Steel balls , The guy at the end looks like he was going to jump right back in.

 

Great footage! Thanks for sharing, I've always loved the midgets.

 

Very Kool ! The Old Days " There were Bold drivers and Old drivers, Very few Old Bold drivers"

 

Where did they find all the midgets to drive them?

 

Man that is some great footage. The guy that hits the hay bail at 1:19 came inches from smacking that telephone pole. If he had've; it probably wouldn't have ended well.

 

I know the ***le of the clip said "midget..." but when I think of midgets I usually think a smaller ch***is. And I know midgets evolved into subsets - three-quarter midgets (TQs), quarter midgets, etc. - but at least one of the cars looked like it had a six cylinder engine in it (3 exhaust pipes). I usually think small fours or bike and outboards of that era. What gives?

 

Just got this on a online auction along with 21 other 8 and 16mm home films.
When I can remember where my projectors(Yes,multiple) are I plan on giving it a watch
