Notes: Al Fontanini and crew member Jim Christensen were killed on June 25, 1970, in an accident on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. While stopped at a tollbooth, their rig was rear-ended by another truck. RIP. - RT | Early '70 photo from New England Dragway, I would ride in the tow car and check tire pressures before a run. Al and Jim were on their way to New England Dragway when the accident occurred. For years that weekend was declared the "Fontanini Memorial." I took this photo (when I was 16ish) . the noise would shake your guts . - Thomas Veilleux
