  Safety was obviously not a priority in 1946! Brilliant historical photo!

• aussiejeff said:

  Fabulous pic of the "old" pit straight & pit facilities at Mt Panorama! Detail at the new 6K zoom setting is excellent too. Bathurst then is a far cry from the facilities & safety barriers built since...but probably was more exciting for obvious reasons.. ;O)

  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]  

• James Christensen said:

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

• Jason White/Big Lion Head said:

  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.
