CAUTION. Tragedy ahead.

Pretty Trophy Girl, JC Agajanian, Track Promoter, and youngest National Championship winner ever, Danny Caruthers! Yes! Great!

Oh. Wait.

Yes, Danny Caruthers followed his brothers footsteps and became 1971 USAC National Midget Champion. But he also perished on this night.

There are several accounts, Tim Kennedy was there and we include his notes in this video.

In today's world, we would not continue with the event. But 1971 was not today. Vukovich prevails in the end.
