Back in the 70s I used to buy Custom Car magazine, which followed drag racing. They published a photograph of a meeting in America where an engine blew its supercharger completely off, not an unusual occurence. It showed the supercharger in mid-air, a fraction of a second before it hit the television cameraman also shown in the picture, killing him instantly.

Yes indeed, motor racing is dangerous.
 
As it says on each ticket.....
 
So so lucky!

In 1955 A Mercedes 300 SLR crashed into the crowd killing the driver and 84 spectators which led to Mercedes staying out of Motoracing until 1980!
