Jacques N. Dresang has very kindly sent us these photos, taken at the Mid Ohio round of the 1975 SCCA/USAC F5000 series, which he bought at a garage sale last year.
They aren't of the greatest quality but I'm sure you'll agree they are marvellously evocative of the great years of F5000 and they feature several cars that you may not have seen before.

At the start of Heat 1 B.J. Swanson crashed at the first corner due to his throttle jamming open, the impact caused the crash barrier to be torn from the ground striking Swanson on the helmet. Sadly, as a result of the serious head injuries he received, the promising 26 year old American in his first season of F5000 died three days later.
