Morris 1100 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Tony Simon was the driver that I was thinking of, he lost his right hand (lost between the elbow and wrist) in a Sprint-car flip in 1974 he then had a prosthetic hand fitted and resumed his racing career. He retired from racing in 1987.
Merle Bettenhousen and Alan Heath also lost arms and kept racing and that is what led Tony Simon to continue racing.
