[Spridgets] Grand Prix - The Killer Years - On Velocity Channel

[Jay]

I enjoyed the documentary but thought it should have continued to detail the 
"problems" of the 70's as well. The Killer Years extended well beyond the 
1960's.

Ronnie Peterson, Francois Cevert, Helmut Koenig, Niki Lauda, Didier Pironi, 
Gilles Villeneuve, etc. all either died or suffered from horrific accidents.

Did not have time to look at the full show.  I was also following F1 and other 
sports car events in those days and there was a lot made of the accidents, they 
were spectacular and unfortunate.   The other thing I remember from those years 
was that over ten times as many people were killed playing football, at all 
levels of that sport,  just in the USA.
