The Official Status Update Thread: Part 92 - Neverending Winter

[jagee]

That made me remember a few times I actually did that. Point the nose at a hole I knew was closing and just floor it screaming as I went through. Only failed me 1 time and that was not only painful but very expensive.

Ouch, make my body ache and my wallet scream.

I'll have to agree with ct2 on this one...

Ran over the rear wheels of the 2 cars in front of me as the hole closed up.....launched my car straight into the air. Flashes of light, tweety bird sylvester and the martian floating around in my head then I woke up.....thought I was batman....

took 3 weeks to fix the car.

I love racing.....:-)

 

[chocktaw2]

I, thank God, have never been....................... no, not gonna say it.

 

[mom45]

Yes, gonna go get a few things before the storm hits. Take Dr.Quinn out for lunch. Maybe drive around looking for the farm where somebody wants to put in a 10k hog operation.

No ma'am, Adams Co.

Good afternoon to ya!

 

[chocktaw2]

I'll 2nd that

In 1975, a group of guys were drag racing out in the country. Had a group of bystanders watching. A drunk driver came thru there and hit 2 spectators, running over their legs. Stopped and backed up to see what he hit, and ran over them again. I was never the same on racing after that.

Hi guys! I had to ditch the groundhog Jagee...he let me down!

CT2 - Remembered after I asked that you were over east of us. There is a big confined feeding operation that was recently approved by the BZA near Winamac. We have a big one here in Starke County, and I am glad I don't live close to it.

We had meetings this morning and I never even turned the computer on until after lunch today. Sun is shining and it is about 20, but the snow is coming. I saw 6 to 10 inches for Tomorrow/Wednesday and another foot or more for the weekend. I'm not sure where we are going to pile it all. Caught up on my reading I think.

I can see this souring your views. Have to remember it was the drunk that did the damage.
Also remember that an organized event is so much safer at least for the spectators. Well, for the most part anyway.

Back in my street racing days I have seen more than a few get off road/upside down or just run into each other. When I lost a good friend to a street racing collision (motor cycles) I pushed every one to take it out to Raceway Park on Tuesday and Wed. night for the grudge races. Do it on the dragstrip.....not the street.

The spectators were drunk also. Everybody had a part to play in this one.
A lot of the kids just quit doing it.
