Florida Memory said:
The Blitzen was built in France specifically to challenge the Stanley Steamer driven by Fred Marriott. This car with a 1,300 cubic inch engine boasting 8 inch pistons was difficult to drive and Victor Henery was unable to control the car to beat Marriott. It was later purchased by Ernest Moross for $14,000 and brought to Daytona Beach. On March 16, 1910, Barney Oldfield flew through the Measured Mile time traps for a new world record of 131.72 mph.

English description of description: "Autosport. As if shot by a catapult, the American driver Cassidy flies through the air, followed by the cushion of his cockpit. Badly bruised, the driver ended up in the hospital. Washington 1936."

This was likely "Wild Bill" Cassidy, crashing at the Arden Downs (dirt) Track, Washington, Pennsylvania, on July 12, 1936. – Dirt Track Auto Racing [2]

I'd take 'badly bruised' for that sort of bragging rights!

It's an amazing shot. They were made of stronger stuff back then. Can you imagine if this happened to Lewis Hamilton? He'd be in many bits.
