My understanding of the accident: they were testing/tuning 60' times and had not been making full passes. I was told Lee had not been fastening his belts as they were stopping right after the 60' mark and backing up, adjusting and trying again most of the day. On the last test, they figured Lee decided to take it clear through and then the mishap occured. Possibly no belts on at that time.



THIS is what I heard also .... from either Don Campanello or Frank Iaconio.

The previous year I was a sponsor on the RMS car.
