My first BIG race was the Southern 500 in '63. Roberts won it. Joe, I don't remember the position, finished high enough to beat Richard Petty for the championship.

Robert's death led to the development of the fuel cell. Joe's to the window net.

What was that wreck in the 50's, where the car landed in the front rows of the stands?  Saw footage of it as a kid but haven't thought about it til now.  I'm sure you guy's will remember.

There is a lot film of Cale Yarbrough in a 63 Ford flying over the fence at Darlington.  There is another one of Dick Hutcherson in another Ford going over a Fence at Daytona.

Leo, I remember readin' about someone knockin' the fence down in Martinsville in the fifties. Don't think anyone was killed.

When NASCAR banned the 'Himmy', Chrysler got their collective panties inna wad 'n pulled their factory backed cars. Petty went drag racin' in what would become Funny Cars. He had an accident 'n killed a l'il boy.

Bobby Allison went airborne at Talladega back in the '80s 'n rode the catch fence. Several were injured by debris. Now at that track 'n Daytona they have restrictor plates to keep 'em under two hundred miles an hour.

RCR got the 1, 2,3, finish at Bristol.   Glad to see GM in the winner's circle.  More hard luck for JGR again.  Martinsville will be tough on the brakes.

Arce,
     I think ya got it right with the Martinsville episode.  It was when they was racin the single seaters open top with the roll bar in back.  If memry serves the car didn't go thru the fence but flew over it an landed on the crowd.  It's funny the things ya remember from childhood.

     If I have anymore questions I'll know right where ta go.

Power steerin' trouble for Hamlin last week. Same thing for Busch today. Fuel problems for Stewart 'n Hamlin last year in this race. Fuel problem for Hamlin today. Wonder what's goin' on at JGR. They had 'em won.

Leo, that ain't it. I watch stock cars. Don't know much about the old roadsters. Remember a real, real bad one in france (lower case intended) years ago. Killed a bunch of spectators.

You're right, TLD. That one was a bad one. Not sure if they changed the spectator areas or not after that one. Another bad one was in '67 or '68. Walt Hansgen had to go down an escape chute and still hit hay bales or something in one of those Ford GT-40 Mark IV's. Tore the car completely up...............Buck 8) :o

......or Lay Maaaaa as the frogs say.

If it's the one I have in mind it was horrible. But what in the name of heck were those people thinkin' standin' there?

The 'world' racin' community can run their mouths all they want about the European 'rice-in' sophistication. They can't hold a candle to NASCAR or the NHRA when it comes to safety for the competitors or spectators.

I was watching the NHRA races from Gainesville Florida yesterday on TV.  Cruz Pedregon had a buge Blower explosion and fire on his Funny Car. The body was blown completely off the car and the Safety Safari was on the spot to put out the fire. Cruz was shaken but uninjured.
