Those were the days of raw racing, and tough race-car drivers.
I'll drop the subject on that note, but these two men alone
represented just about the finest race-driving skills it's possible to
have, using cars that were so "twitchy" a number of present day
drivers would not be able to just get in and drive them. 
To drive what they regularly drove at 10 tenths, was possible by a
mere handful of drivers world wide.
