My guess is oil. Those cars all ran dry sumps and it was common to mount the oil tank right behind the driver. Possibly a broken oil line.Originally posted by KevMcNJ View PostKeith Koether http://www.kkraceshots.com

Especially if the engine's still running.
I've also got some old ASA and ARCA stuff too if anyone is interested.

I'm thinking the lines were zip tied to the cage along the drivers side of the cage and maybe tore loose as he ran backwards along the wall. Oil usually leaves that kind of black smoke and a lot of flame. He may have crushed the dry sump tank when he crushed the back end. They're made of spun aluminum and hold several gallons of oil.Keith Koether http://www.kkraceshots.com

....or, an oil line might have let go and that's what caused him to hit the wall. Seen that happen too.Keith Koether http://www.kkraceshots.com

Awesome pic! is that High Dynamic Range? It really gives a good sense of how it would've looked being there.Originally posted by indybigjohn View PostStart at Asheville-Weaverville in the 50s...
Some fans claim one series or another runs "real race cars." What's everybody else running, fake race cars? :confused:

I haven't looked at these pictures in over 20 years.......I believe they are from the '87 Pocono race Richmond won......oddly enough these 4 photos were in line, what a difference a few years made
