Ileen Goodman in the #55 Ford sedan is shown above at Cejay Stadium in Wichita, Kansas crashing into the #1 coupe whose driver is unidentified.  The photo below shows the aftermath of this same crash.  Goodman had already exited the car when the photo below was taken but her brother, Carroll Forrest, can be seen at left checking to be sure that she had turned the ignition switch off before she climbed out of the car – Jim Edwards photos from the Michelle Kristek collection
