| Speaking of racing, have you ever been in a drag race?
|
| What are you kidding me?
|
| I just tought I’d ask. |
| No, Jim races in the tradition, you might say.
|
| Real racing cars, real tracks. |
| How fast will your car go?
|
| Oh… in honest miles an hour, clocked 160/170
|
| You’ve won a few races, haven’t you?
|
| Oh, one or two
|
| Where?
|
| I showed pretty good at Palm Springs. |
| I ran at Bakersfield
|
| Jimmy, we probably have a great many young people watching our show tonight and,
|
| for their benefit, I’d like your opinion about fast driving on the highway.
|
| Do you think it’s a good idea?
|
| Good point
|
| I used to fly around quite a bit, I took a lot of unnecessary chances on the
|
| highways. |
| And I started racing and now, I drive on the highways and I’m, uh,
|
| extra cautious. |
| 'Cause no one knows what they’re doing half the time.
|
| You don’t know what this guy’s going to do or that one. |
| On the track,
|
| there a lot of men who spend a lot of time in developing rules, ways of safety.
|
| And, uh, I find myself being very cautious on the Highway. |
| I don’t have the
|
| urge to speed on the Highway. |
| People say racing is dangerous, but I’ll take my
|
| chances on the track any day than on the Highway
|
| Alright, Gig. |
| I better take off
|
| Wait Jimmy, one more question. |
| Do you have any special advice for the young
|
| people who drive?
|
| Take it easy driving. |
| The life you save might be mine |
