Interesting how the embankment has little or no vegetation on it - unrecognisible now. Brett Oils is in full production too. The Brett Oils site remains largely unchanged since the day it closed. There are development plans which have been submitted to Gateshead Council and can be seen online if you're prepared to search for them - the potential development of this site looks fantastic. It's difficult to describe but does look very good.

Wikipedia's caption on the photo says this:
This is a photo of driver Mel Marquette's wrecked McFarlan racing car at the 1912 Indianapolis 500. Marquette finished 19th in the race, two places ahead of Eddie Rickenbacker, who was put out of the race with a broken intake valve.

Wikipedia says that Bob Burman ranked 12th (but did not finish) in the 1912 Indianapolis 500 when his Cutting race car (pictured above) crashed on turn two. Reference: Wikipedia: 1912 Indianapolis 500

Keep in mind that when that photo was taken the car was the latest in race car design.
