Yeah, Rod Eulenfeld blew an engine in turns 3 & 4 and slid up the track,
flipped over, and slid into the grass flipping over and on fire while
other cars got into his oil and spun/crashed out. It was a spectacular
wreck and everyone walked away uninjured.

Last race for Possum Jones, a winner in the Convertible series. Possum
ran 47 races in the hardtops between 1952 and 1965

Jeff, Buck Baker was injured in that wreck. Here's a vid of that
first-lap wreck, showing just how bad that crash was.

Even though he crashed, flipped and burned on the first lap, this was
Rod Eulenfeld's best career finish.

footage of the eulenfield crash appears in the movie "redline 7000". in
the movie the driver dies, but fortunately in real life he survived.

odd that there were 21 cars in the first qualifier and 28 in this one.

Sam McQuagg's sponsor is actually Langdale Ford. Text on the car is
somewhat hard to read.
