Bill Vaughan Crashes

Post by Peter McKercher »

Here is an interesting sequence which shows Bill Vaughan showing off his driving skills. Interestingly, virtually every photo I have of Vaughan shows him off roading. This particular sequence is from the 1953 Sagaponack Cup race at Bridgehampton. The car is the one that Perry Fuller built and showed at the New York International Motor Sports Show in 1953. Unfortunately they appear in this posting starting from the bottom and progressing to the top photo.

For a real flavour of the type of race that Vaughan participated in, check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZlYmchkXRg which is the same track, albeit two years earlier.
