I did some looking and he was a very interesting guy with a lot of talent. I couldn't find any info on what caused the crash only that it happened at around 385 mph. He had several race cars that ran in several different classes at Bonneville, a funny car and a top fuel car as well. He owned B&N Automotive along with Bert Peterson. I finally found better info on Motion 1 and the crash. The wreck was caused by a broken axle sending the car sideways at around 425 mph. Here is a pic of one of his earlier Bonneville record breaking cars. 3 Quote Link to comment

goes2fast Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) Once the car was sideways it turned into a wing and went airborne with no rudder to steer. Edited November 8, 2019 by goes2fast 1 Quote Link to comment
