Oh, he's Eugene Richard Case, who has crashed this Chrysler powered dragster (AA/FD) on June, 1959.

No Google Image  ;) Was just browsing through fatal accidents in mid-century US drag racing until I found the same picture.

I thought I had found a very obscure source, but you found it!

Hey!!!  I searched "Keywords" and still couldn't find it...   >:(

It's tragic reading through those pages how many kids lost their Daddys at such young ages...
