My Granddad Taylor was one of those stunt drivers and would drive up on one side with 2 wheels in the air! My Grandma was one of the gals that would hang by her hair and trampoline between 2 flat decks while moving with this Motor Thrill Show!

My dad was in ward beams stunt show they had to cut holes in the floor and chain airplane seatbelts to the frame! When they did the head on collision stunt they would put a mattress on the dashboard and drive from the back with cables for throttle!
