Fast way of taking down the Christmas tree
Irwindale Raceway early 70s $$$$ nitro match race. Steve Evans announcing and also track manager at the time had just spent 5 minutes between runs touting the new cable suspended Christmas Tree the track had just installed. Fiat Topolino "Blue Barron" is staged, launches, quite literally launches, big wheelie then to one tire wheelie then to airborne :eek: nails that brand new tree suspended over the track and comes to rest on his roof at the start line :BangHead:. Driver was unharmed, tree not so much :lol:.
