There's a nice photo of Jack Scott with one wheel airborne on the track. At 
this turn at Ponca City, like turns on a number of other tracks, all 
roadsters lifted a wheel.

I have a few other images which bear testament to the rigidity of the 
roadster at speed.

Yep - she came from Santa Paula, California in 1994, in interesting shades of 
sunscorched and peeling dark red - the dash was full of craters and even the 
hardtop had a sunroof. The engine was rebuilt by Harry's Car Care in Santa 
Paula in 1988 for $2,525 and the carbs were rebuilt by Carburetor Connection, 
Simi Valley for $250. A lot of cash back then.
