The guardrail went through the drivers door and exited the rear passenger door. His wife and children survived the crash. He was the manager of Firestone's drag racing tire division at the time. He was only 30 years old.
Man, what a tragic story. In 1971 Bill drove Arlen Vanke's B/MP 1971 'Cuda (the one on the left in this photo).
