If you have not checked out this site, do yourself a favor and find a comfortable place to sit. There are thousands of vintage drag racing pictures.

In September 1908, First lieutenant Selfridge was a passenger on a demonstration flight piloted by Orville Wright. While in a turn at 150 feet a portion of one of the propellers liberated itself, taking out a guy wire, rendering the aircraft uncontrollable. Both men on board the aircraft were thrown forward when the aircraft impacted the ground at a steep angle. Orville survived, after several weeks in the hospital due to a broken leg, ribs & hip. Lt. Selfridge hit his head on a wood brace, fracturing his skull. It is believed he would have survived had he been wearing a protective device on his head. From this point forward US Army pilots wore leather helmets. This picture was taken prior to takeoff on that fateful Day.

I had a van exactly like that one backing down the ramp. Good workhorse with a big six and steep gears.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
