Description

  • Content Description: Photograph taken for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "THIS DRAG RACER WAS DESTROYED AFTER GRADEN MILLER JUMPED, CRITICALLY BURNED. Tragedy marked the opening day of the national drag races Friday at the state fairgrounds. Graden Miller, 24-year-old Oklahoma City entrant, was critically injured when his car caught fire during a tune-up run down the quarter-mile track. Some 3,500 spectators witnessed the accident. Miller, of 901 NW 19, was taken to Mercy hospital, where a physician said he received first and second degree burns on his face arms and backs and legs. He was moved to surgery for treatment soon after arriving at the hospital. Miller's car apparently caught fire when the clutch and bell housing exploded as he attained a speed of about 100 miles an hour on the track."
