  • Thank you GWT I was hoping you'd do him, his story was interesting consider he won the 500 the year before. I understand you are a busy person but I'd like see if you could do an MVM for Roger Williamson, as usual i'm always impressed by your work,

  • @MrElectricOne Sorry again for the late response, but there are good news: I am already working on it (besides other ones), I just want to get a piece of (ultrarare) footage, that I have seen long ago, and now I am hunting for it...... wish me luck.

  • @stampede122 There was no such thing as loose and tight conditions in 1939.

  • Dear Goodwilltubing, you make very nice and fitting tributes to our heroes of motorsport and some forgotten heroes that deserved more than what they got. With that in mind, I was wondering if by chance you were working on a tribute to Dan Wheldon? Wheldon was a favorite of mine and I was saddened by his passing. Please write back if you are. Sincerely mohawkman251988. United States.

  • my grandfathers brother was a good friend of Floyd Roberts and a member of his pit crew in 38 when he won it and was in the pits again in 39, do you have any other info on Floyd Roberts?

    and thanks for the video

  • my guess about how the accident happened is a car got loose.......

  • @goodwilltubing luck........ :)

  • @aure232 1953.

  • Both other drivers involved this crash perished later in different accidents. Swanson was killed only year later and Miller had his fatal crash 1853.

    Unimaginable how dangerous motosport was on this time!

  • RIP
