I've so missed these Doug Once Upon a Time stories.

I remember the Ginther pics in the pit area in his skivvies.

Thanks, Doug.

Picture this – non-fitting fuel sleeve?  In 1967, Indy Raceway, Richie Ginther was practicing with Dan Gurney’s AAR team at Indy for the Indy 500. 

 

During practice, going down the back straight, a fuel line broke and soaked him with fuel.  He politely pulled over, rather quickly tho, got out of the car, took all his clothes off and retired, as a driver, on the spot.

 

Loose fuel lines = a stinko garage and, better yet, fire.  The gift that keeps on giving.

(ps – got to drive a 296 up the Pacific Coast Hwy. it’s a rocket. And sounds even better when the electric motor quits to recharge and the IC motor cuts in.)

Fitting a rubber isolating sleeve over a fuel pipe is not a big deal. 

 

Yes, something like this should have been caught while assembling pre-production cars, but assembly-line people are not mechanics.

 

At least the doors didn't fall off the car while driving... Yet.
