Chuck flipped one year at Plant Field during the Winter Nationals when he hooked the cushion between 3 & 4 landed on his wheels and kept right on racing. I was at the races with my dad and he wouldn't believe me. After the races we went to the pits and I asked the 3rd turn corner flagman, Manuel Liggett who was a friend of my dad and he confirmed my tale. Very few in attendance that day caught it as it happened so quickly and Amati only lost one or two positions over it.
