Search on this forum. You should find at least one if not two or three threads on the subject with photos.

I am sure there was more but I think that is enough anyway.

That thing really slammed into the box and track crowd didnt it? I'd just assumed it had made a wobbly trip off the Tarmac but never realised it nearly caused multiple fatalities! No wonder the Dodge boys were embarrassed, who could sell a car that can't stop?!
