:35:00
Around the turns they go into seven.
:35:03
All cars on the course.
Everything moving along very nicely.
:35:06
They're working feverishly in the pits
to get that North car back and running.
:35:10
Let's see what happens.
The rest of the cars now on turn nine.
:35:13
It's bad, Johnny. The lower "A" arm is
bent. The shock mountings are torn loose.
:35:17
Bodywork's awful close.
It may rub, Johnny.
:35:19
All right, baby your right rear,
watch it on the right-handers.
:35:23
Summoned by his pit boss.
Now he goes.
:35:25
Now he goes back and running in number 98,
the Sylvester Cobra. He's a tiger.
:35:29
John North back into the race.
He's got a lot of time to catch up with.
:35:33
Smoke is still coming off
that right rear wheel.
:35:37
Let's see if he can keep going.
He's in the pack now.
:35:40
He's got Hammond behind him
in number 96.
:35:43
Rogers in number 99.
They're going into the S's.
:35:46
Let's see if he can make a move here
or whether he's going to hold his position.
:35:49
I certainly hope
he stays where he is.
:35:51
Tremendous contention.
Up through the S's they go.
:35:54
The race progressing
with a tremendous pace.
:35:57
North coming very close now.
He's pressing number 244.
:36:00
Let's see if he can pass him.
Is he gonna pass him?
:36:06
Johnny!
:36:08
The car is in the air
and continues rolling six, seven times.
:36:13
Oh, not that.!
The car burst into flames.
:36:16
We're watching to see
if the driver's okay.
:36:19
North gets out of that car, believe it
or not, staggering away from the car.
:36:23
- Johnny!
- Easy, Sheila. You can't help him.
:36:25
It's good the wind was blowing,
blowing the flames away from him.
:36:28
He is dropping.
:36:31
This is a race where we should expect
an accident of this magnitude.
:36:35
Emergency vehicles
are being dispatched.
:36:38
The ambulance is right here, and they are
getting to North just as quickly as they can.
:36:43
The car is a shambles.
Just looks like a bonfire.
:36:46
They're moving North onto the stretcher,
and they will take him to the hospital.
:36:50
We'll certainly get the word back
from the hospital as soon as we can...
:36:54
and let you spectators
know what his condition is.
:36:56
- Johnny, you all right?
- How he walked away from that car...
:36:59
I can honestly tell you I don't know.
