Gladiator was on fire the same meeting it flipped, led to a famous Bootsie quote "look at that my firesuit is brown on the outside as well now". I did have a sequence of the flip, sadly lost in a house move. On the sequence you could see the burnt paint from the previous fire. Bootsie did two burnouts on that run which probably led to the wheelie and ultimately the flip.

I'm guessing this is Bootsies fireball qualifying run at the '79 Supernats before the flip in the final...
