Let me pick the collective memory here.
I watched a B&W replay of a vintage race from about '63 several years back. I'm trying to figure out which race. It may have been in Europe. Here is what I barely remember.
-Standing start on a straightaway,
-White '63 or '64 Galaxie screams down the track followed several seconds later by the rest of the field
-Galaxie is crushing the smaller cars but has a small problem with the brakes catching fire (fronts drums)
-Some brake work is performed in the pits, car comes back out on the track
-Galaxie's brakes fail and it plows off of the end of a straight
-Race officials don't bother removing car from track and pile hay bales around the back end sticking up
Does this ring a bell for anyone? I've tried searching for it without any luck.
