It was a Ford straight axle, one piece tilt front end car with the engine moved back 10 inches. The explosion knocked the driver out, broke both his legs and the car lost the front brakes and costed to the sand trap at the end of the strip. It was a 55# flywheel, supposed to explosion proof and a 3/8 steel scatter shield welded to the frame that took out the top of the car. Blankets and such were not invented yet. The engine ran Hilborn injectors and also lost the rear of the engine a bit.

This is not the Chevy.....

That picture was taken in 2003 at the first Tijuana GP, a street circuit race in southern TJ. Here is a picture of the outside of the Racers Club. The car was originally owned by a guy that raced it for years and then sold it and bought an airplane???http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1351563526.jpg
