There's this photo:
This was found by Jesper. I'll report here what he wrote me:
What do you think? I really don't know what to do (I'm not really interested in this kind of crashes, especially from ovals/dirt tracks/etc.).Driver Beeder (possibly Frankie) in #1 Lucky Teter Spl. "Big Car", which is to say, the term for sprintcar, back in the day. This is what the auction said, and what I can see in the photo.
Note the tow truck, which says Paterson, N.J. That place is not that far away from Allentown, Pennsylvania, where Beeder's fatal accident occurred, in 1938.

Beeder's stats with ultimateracinghistory ends just before this race: http://www.ultimateracinghistory.com/ra ... iqid=26559 , so no help there.
Lucky Teter was a famous stunt driver, who was killed in 1942. Maybe the car is in fact the one Teter entered in the 1936 Indy 500, but which did not appear, so I cannot compare it with anything. But that would make it a champcar wreck, instead.

The forum should still be able to solve this, on the basis of the available info. It could be Beeder's fatal wreck.
