Refueling Sunoco Camaro at Watkins Glen Speedway, New York, August 1969
01
Artifact Overview
Racing is a dangerous career--and not only for the drivers. Before strict safety guidelines were enforced, pit crews wore little protective gear. Even refueling a car, as shown here in the August 1969 Watkins Glen Trans-Am race, was potentially life-threatening.
