Mel showed me his helmet from that race one time, complete with a tire tread from Gordies car! A miracle he was not killed that day.

A big chunk of time was edited out before the last crash at :13
That last bit is what I am refering to in my comment above.

There was reported to be oil on the track. Apparently, that's why Johncock slammed into Mel Kenyon's car, even though the yellow flag was already out.
Two safety workers had already crossed the track and were standing next to Kenyon's car. Mel had unstrapped and was standing up in his cockpit when he suddenly saw Johncock sliding directly at him!

Since this wreck involved Mario, Mel Kenyon and Gordon Johncock, I'm pretty sure that it wasn't "fatal" - all three are very much still alive.

was there oil on the track?
