While we're thinking about the old days, does anyone here remember the Fontanini and Nanini team out of the Chicago area? They were incredible fast in the 66-68 time period with their match race Mopars. If memory serves me right, they lost their lives in a fiery traffic accident on the Pennsylvania Turnpike while en route to a match race in the east somewhere. Does anyone here remember them?

Bob, it seems to me that they their fatal accident was at the New Stanton Interchange on the pike, when a gas tanker behind them slammed into the rig and the whole thing caught fire. Do you remember that incident?
