to one of the more unique moments of Flamin Frank Pedregon.
Some local racers believed Frank Pedregon's radical "Bucks-Down" fuel coupe sat so low that it wouldn't properly trip the starting line beams. That concern led to this scene at Puyallup in 1965.
In the photo, Frank can be seen manually pushing the legendary coupe into the beams by the left front wheel while track operator Clark Marshall, officials, and several concerned racers look on.
Innovation often challenges convention, and the "Bucks-Down" coupe certainly did just that. More than 60 years later, it remains one of the most iconic and talked-about machines of its era.
