I was not at this race, but I am sure many open wheel fans that were there that day, will never forget - Johnny Rutherford at Eldora Speedway, Ohio on 3 April 1966.

I was right there inside turn 2. Back then it was a long way down to the creek.
:dologob:

I, also, was there that day. It was a very pleasant surprise to find out that the car landed on all four wheels in the creek bed. I think Johnny's definition of Good Luck
(When preparation meets opportunity) didn't apply that day- Divine Providence(God) said it wasn't time yet.

I was there! I also had that picture in my scrap book when I was a kid. I think I cut it out of NSSN.

Holly $h*t, now that's scary
