I don't think any of the racing GB's had a happy life. A lot of crashes and pilots lost over the various models histories. Even the much more docile sport planes were reported to be a handful.
"Mr. Awesome" always reminded me of one, a huge engine attached to a cockpit with just enough structure to keep them pointed in more or less the right direction.

Not that long ago and quite a few planes that fall into "raced at Reno in years past" category.
