P.S. The mustang you are thinking of is the "Beguine." It crashed into a house during the 1949 Cleveland Thompson Trophy race killing 4, the pilot, and the air races.

And so I don't get Wayne breathing down my neck, that photo is one I found on the Legacy of Speed calender website. Don't know who took it.

No Zeke's right. Race 45 was Anson Johnson's bird that he put the radiators in the wings and eliminated the belly scoop.

Also, the Beguine crash killed 3 people. And Aaron King is the photo credit.
