In '61 (or maybe '62 or '63) at the Indy Nationals, was it Joe who I watched "dismount" his drag bike at about 170 mph? I don't recall that he (or whoever it was) getting badly hurt.

I remember E J Potter stepping off of his bike one time at high speed.
This was with the bike with the V-8 engine mounted sideways. That bike tore up the woods on the end of the track but the V-8 engine was still running. There would not have been any trees around at the INDY event. RIP Joe Tom V.

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.
