The story goes that Ken Richardson or a member of his Triumph Works TR2<br>
team<br>
back in 1953 or '54 pulled out the floor plug for the jack before the<br>
race<br>
and set up a funnel and a long hose so he could "use the
facilities".<br>
During the race, he tried it (for the first time) and once the funnel<br>
was<br>
full, the aerodynamic force blew it all back up into his face. Back<br>
then,<br>
they didn't wear full racing helmets, but goggles.<br>
