Jackie Stewart was my favorite driver along with Mario Andretti. "The Flying Scotsman" as he was called raced in the 60's and 70's with few equals. His determination to bring safety to the sport is unparralled. When he retired from racing, he became a commentater on ABC's Wide World of Sports along with Jim McKay and Chris Acanamackie (probably didn't spell that right). His Scottish accent only added to the excitement of watching the Grand Prix of Monoco. Cheers 'ol pal.
That old school F1 racing was the shits. The old (as in pre-1970) cars were beautiful, and the sight of them roaring through the streets of Europe were awe-inspiring.
