Wow, cars were really unstable back then, I mean the second car flipped all by itself (with a little help from the driver of course) I don't think any car on sale today would flip over that easily, maybe SUVs but doubt a car would.

Late in the video a Beetle vert almost went over with 4 people in it. It's pretty horrrific and a reason why it should not be opened to random ya-hoos with no speed limit and no safety equipment on the car. One guy actually fell out of the car, I mean the door opened and he fell out of the car, lucky it didn't seem serious but IMO it's better to be belted in.

Speed limits on a race track?! What a ridiculous notion. That's the beauty of that track you pay $20 and you can take almost anything you want out on the track granted you sign the death waiver. You die, it's your own fault. The health and safety people can get stuffed in my opinion.

Yeah that dude got lucky as hell that his car didnt roll over on him when he went flying out. Im suprised all these people managed to walk away.
