I know Karl flipped on Winchester’s backstretch but don’t know if he actually went over the wall.

Re: Karl Busson 50 Years Ago

Thanks for sharing yet more classic pics, Al.

In the last pic it looks to me that the seat he is in is no longer centered under the roll cage? Almost like the cockpit shifted left under the cage.

Violent stuff.

Karl always wore a cowboy hat! Great guy who drove for his father in law Bernie Cedoz.

Was there at Reading and Winchester. He also had a big one at Knoxville.

Absolutely violent. Consider that the left rear wheel isn’t a double rolled, cold drawn, T-6 aluminum shell that you’d see today. That’s an old school steel rim. And it’s bent before he’s even hit the wall. Terrifying energy.
