“I led the race for the first two laps. I was in the turn passing the pylons, and of course, all my attention is devoted out in front of me because we're only about 30 feet above the ground and I'm doing about 225 miles an hour. All of a sudden, I feel this, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. And I was actually in a little bit of trouble because of where I was sitting at such a low altitude. When I started a right turn, I noticed my right wingtip looked like turkey feathers. I had noticed after I heard this bang, bang, bang, that all the race planes had landed. My buddy Don walked up to me after I taxied to a stop, and I asked him what happened? And he said, You mean you don't know that Rocky hit you and that he went in and crashed? I said, No.” -Hoot Gibson.
