Scariest motorsport moment	When competing at a drag meeting, racing my Plymouth Barracuda, engine blew just before the finish line. Traveling at 130mph the rear tyres instantly got covered with oil causing the car to spin and lurch violently up onto two wheels. Fortunately the car came back down onto four wheels with out hitting anything else.
