Even if you're Rod Perry driving the famed Black Bandit you did not win all the races all the time, you did not even finish them all. Here is the aftermath of a crash at Medley, probably around late 1961-62. The straight axle/leaf spring front end has sustained heavy damage, the truck radiator is bent and probably shot, but the frame appears to be ok. Interesting stage in the breakneck racecar car evolution that was going on at this time. Note the Vertex magneto, the 406 big block Ford/Edsel power plant, and the 6 two barrel carburetors, no fuel injection yet. Notice the very early wing design, pretty much just a piece of metal with some side skirts riveted on. There was no shaping of the wing area itself, that was still a year or so away.
