All I can say is..... wow! I was about 10 feet to the right (just out of the picture) of the lady with the yellow chairs standing along the fence with my dad and younger brother. We had been looking towards the start/finish line when we heard Hamby hit the wall. Turning to see the car come towards us and knocking down and going over those people, as shown in shots 4 and 5, will be something I'll never forget. One of the ladies standing there was absolutely hysterical yelling that someone was under the car. From our angle it sure did seem like it too. I was around 15 and my brother 13 and our dad just grabbed our shoulders and we walked away back through the motor homes. If I remember correctly, only a photographer had his leg pinned under the car. Thanks for the photos!
