History Drag cars in motion.......picture thread.

I saw this one happen, some clutch shrapnel hit a spectator in the pits, cut his leg pretty badly...lucky it wasn't worse...later Larry Bowers pitched the entire motor out of the car, I think that that picture is somewhere on this site.

This picture has been stuck in my brain since I was a kid. What an era.

 

...think that this was Joe Winters, who probably set an altitude record for body launch. Winters was an old school guy who lost a leg to cancer but kept on racing.
