Here's a still from the film, Frank Deiny, probably at Riverside, click to enlarge:

Tried to see if it's ever made it onto VHS or similar, maybe changed its title, but I can't find it. It ought to be interesting, and I'd really like to see it.

Jesper, I have this film. I went through the Riverside race part...but there's no footage of a #15 crashing.

Strange. It's presented as a still from it. Can I ask you where you found this film?

I think I got it from a friend in the US a couple of years ago. Not sure though. Race featured is the '68 Motor Trend 500.

A newspaper report (LA Times, January 22nd, 1967) says "The race was slowed by two accidents, but there were no injuries". No further info given.
