These guys were called the Jolly Raunchers. They broke an axle shaft, as I understand it, and slid right off the track in one of the corners. They got that corrected and were back on the track remarkably quickly.
I have a soft spot for Cherokees. These poor guys were in trouble before the race even started. As you can see here, they are hard at work trying to get the Jeep ready to race. By night fall, they had removed both axles and the transmission. I am not sure what they were trying to fix. They did get on the course eventually but they were out of the race nearly as fast. They described the final problem as a "blown engine" which was a remarkably common description at this race. I wonder if they are all like that?
