Dollar roared out to challenge Miss Pepsi for the front spot. Suddenly the trailing Such Crust IV, a carbon copy of the Slo-mos, exploded in a flash of brilliant orange flame. A Coast Guardsman dived in and rescued her driver, "Wild Bill" Cantrell, who was severely burned. Then Miss Pepsi, by now the hot favorite and in a slim lead, went dead in the water with a hopelessly broken gear box. Dollar finished the second heat...
