Here is Ralph Salyer's Cheetah before he took the top off.
Ralph ran this car with help from his good friend Gene Crowe.
Jerry, I love this shot of Ralph's Cheetah with tape around the door to stop it from being blown off - as happened to him earlier in the season at Daytona. The door also blew off Jerry Grant's car at Pacific Raceway in 1964.

Do you know how they got around this problem (other than not driving at 215mph or cutting the roof off!)?
