Gary Augustine--Camden N.C. Blowover

[Jeff Lytle]

This series was taken in Camden in the early eighties--(1984?) They were running a mixture of classes at the same time for one of the heats. :confused: A driver running a C Service Hydro pulled into the pits when Gary was coming down the main srtaightaway. He hit the wake left by the other boat, and this was the result:

This might hurt!!

Gary was OK, and did the backstroke into the pits to a cheering group of conserned drivers.

Being in the right place at the right time gets you pics like this. I knew I had it all on film, and promised the Augustines copies as soon as I got home. As for Gary, this flip never seems to go away!! :D

Just some minor boat damage--Cowling gone, and pipes bent up from dragging in the water.
