I must have been on the inside. Going up the hill. On the uphill rise there is a right-hand kink just before you go over the brow, It happened on that kink. Richie said that I got a wheel over the edge of the track. And this sent the car sideways. He hit me. There wasn't much else he could do.

Three hundred feet. Ambulance men found him unconscious beside the track. Ginther's Lola somersaulted too - four times - but by some freak chance he was uninjured.
