Grant,
These were champion drivers from F 1, Nascar, Indy,Le Mans,drag racing etc. They raced mainly on oval circuits in later years. The Nascar boys did not want to be beaten by foreign drivers on their home tracks so this led to a lot of " tapping" just to remind others of where they were !
I remember some of the races were like demolition derbies and you knew the series could not last. I am glad I got to see the early years even though they had some violent incidents back then.
Not a lot of love was lost between these proud warriors !
