    I guess the car was crashed back in 1971 at the nationals and I heard about it being rolled the other day at the Holley Hot Rod reunion in Bowling Green KY but I found it on youtube just now.:eek::(:mad:

    This one is a clone of the original car. Rocky Pironne built it, Fred Bear (Original S & S Racing Team member) was driving.

    I hadn't seen this angle of it. Very scary crash and we are so thankful that our good friend Freddy Bear is okay. Thank you Rocky and crew for building such safe race cars.

    That is terrible! What a shame for such a awesome gasser. Glad FRED was not hurt. Probably shaken a bit!
