Here are the 2 pictures I have of the Accarino & Barry SS/F Camaro.
"The Assailant". They were taken at E.S.T.A. Safety Park in Cicero, NY.
July 1970. On 1 pass that day, Bill Blanding, one of the owners of BMS racing(MIMI team cars) drove the car and lost control between shifts. He slid into the grass on the left side of the track and came to a stop. Back then there were no guard rails. Just about 100 feet of grass on both side of the track. In a way it was good as it slowed the cars enough without smacking a wall or rail. No damage was done to either the car or driver.
Please someone correct me if my memory is fading, but that is how I remember it. I was on the starting line when Bill made his pass.
