Pictures you didn't take - Page 87

These were in a bunch of pictures of racing on the sand, back when they raced on Daytona Beach.

OK, this Pontiac got sideways and went over as the man was trying to escape.
But what was that guy doing on the race course, he's not dressed like an official.

The car is not blurred, he's dressed like a driver who has climbed out of his upset car, ditched his helmet, and is worried about
someone hitting his car pushing it over on him.
But that's just a guess.

Apparently Junior Johnson's Pontiac was teetering and he climbed out the back window.
A few more pics are available, but with more foofah and distraction than can be endured.

So I guessed right, thank you.

Looks like the wardrobe department was their homes.

An old loggers trick... special order for long logs, use two tractors to stretch them.

Neat concept.
Did the Ford push in reverse or was it just along for the ride?
Are their roles obvious from the pic or from a caption?
The load needed bracing at rest but not moving?

It said the Mack drove forward and Mercury drove backwards, I'd assume it wasn't just a dolly.
Bracing? Oh, I don't know what those square posts going to the ground are about, the upper pieces are chained.

Boss Tweed on the Lam, and everyone pretending they didn't know he was leaving or where he went... until the cops in Spain recognized him a Thomas Nast cartoon.
