Belt up?  Or not – on purpose – such as their flat earth thinking produced that they’d be thrown free from the gasoline projectile they were piloting.

Off road into a culvert or ditch?  Upside down?  All a part of the thrills.

And you didn’t need to be a driver to suffer those thrills - The hay bales and snow fences didn’t protect the crowds inches from their favorite drivers.
