While the category is called "Getting There", in this case, it would
be more appropriate if the section was called, "Getting it Back There"...
Here's the #20 after a bad accident at East Windsor Speedway. From
what I understand, the throttle hung on the #20 and you see the result
above. From what I understand, the flatbed above usually took two cars to the track - the #363 Sedan driven by Rich Eslo was usually on the truck (see bottom photo), and the #20 Coupe was usually in tow. I'm guessing on this occasion, the coupe got the ride on top since it wouldn't roll. (If anyone has additional photos related to either of the #20, the #363 or possibly a shot of the truck towing both cars, please email us here at The Vault. - Thanks.) |
