Quote: I saw a couple of wrecks at Fountain, one was a really nice 57 chevy made a pass and hit a car on the topend, another was a vette and Grand National hit each other taking off on the starting line.
Yeah there were some brainless knuckleheads out there. The "old site" at Fountain, used to be really smooth back in the late 60's (pre-Starett City). Kept up the surface before the dump closed down. When they started racing on Vandalia St., it was good till more people crowded the area. Walking around the cars during runs or stepping out in the path of the cars during runs. Just plain stupidity!!! A guy almost lost his eyesight due to steel cords shooting off the rear tires, holding the rear end down on a car doing a hard, dry, burnout. Or launching a car, only for it to lose traction 100 feet out and plow into the crowd. Bad night for everybody!!! Flatlands wasn't as bad but also had it's nightmares also. The bad thing about Red Hook was that the roadway was kinda narrow to run and if you were not careful, you could either go into "the drink" or T-bone/ headon crash with some unsuspecting car being nosy. Really hairy place to run, great if you cut a race very late (few people). But one way in and out, bad news for getting caught.
