Didn’t an engine/clutch/transmission/differential explosion seriously injure him, leading to the driver moving to the front of the engine for awhile?

I believe that to be a correct statement. Big Daddy sat in front of the engine in later versions of the dragster.

Yep. Severed part of his foot.

A picture of Alim Khan (1880-1944), Emir of Bukhara, taken in 1911. This is one of the earliest color photographs in existence and was originally taken by Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii as part of his work to document the Russian Empire. It was taken using three black-and-white exposures, with red, yellow and blue filters respectively, long before color photographic printing existed. The three resulting images were projected using color filters to create a color projection. More recently, the Library of Congress has scanned Prokudin-Gorskii's work and contracted with other firms to produce high-resolution color images from the black and white scans.
