Original Toronto Star caption: Away it goes. Racing car driven by Les Scott of Chicago, he's still in it, flies through the air in cloud of dust and smoke. The car spun off track, jumped a 3-foot ditch and finally crashed beside a safety fence. Needless to say, car will not be competing in today's race at Mosport. Twists and turns at Mosport took a heavy toll during yesterday's qualifying time trials. Also eliminated was the race's lone turbine, which was driven by England's Graham Hill.
