@@rzrpap Herk earned his nickname honestly. He raced with reckless abandon, guts and skill. Racing against some of the "All Time Greats" in an era of rough, tuff and deadly cars and tracks. He asked no quarter and gave none! Thanks for preserving these extremely rare glimpses into "The True Golden Age" of the USAC Dirt Track Wars.

@1:23 Nice shot of Jim Hurtubise! Thanks for the UL, so much of the sports history is lost.
Jim Hurtubise was one of my favorite drivers, I was 14 when I took those 8mm movies.

These things really look dangerous.
As David Donohue (Mark's Son) once said; "They were Iron Men in Wooden Boats." One of the all time great racing quotes and so very, very true!
