Thanks for the info, very interesting! 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.

Get the clutch down and steer into it.

Once the car was sideways it turned into a wing and went airborne with no rudder to steer.

It's a stamping press isn't it?

Looks like one to me.

Early mid 20s Model T. Bought a 23 a few years ago. It has been a mind bender to work on. It is best to run non detergent oil in these babbit bearing engines.
