Notes: "The Black Widow was eventually destroyed when, during an exhibition run at Tampa, it went airborne at 183 mph and tumbled through the traps. Most companies today would avoid any association of their products with a violent wreck, but not Turbonique. It's 1968 advertising prominently featured the crumpled remains of the Black Widow with (driver) Drew standing alongside, flashing a 100-watt smile." - from blogger Iowahawk's "The Real Acme: The Glorious Insanity of Turbonique."
