An airplane came out onto the track(which was an airstrip) and took off right over top of us.----Sportsnationals No Problem,LA. Got on the brakes to hard and blew out both front tires. With no brakes thank goodness for long shut down. Just grazed wall.-------US RT 70 Columbia.Mo. stopped @ construction site 18 wheeler does'nt.

Truck&trailer junk, car lots of damage.-------Riding in my truck around loop Dallas Tx. @ night a 3ft 30lb. boom extendtion from a wrecker comes through my windshield with enough force to break off bucket seat. Needless to say it was on the pass. side or I'm not writing this.-----Two bad experiences on RT 40 comming home from Pomona near Needles,Ca. One time truck motor went south and I had to spend Thanksgiving on the road. And another time going thru @ night I felt a vibration (rolling along about 80) pulled off next exit to find I only had 2 lugs out of 8 holding dual wheels on. I had to rob 3 off of the other side to get by.----But with out a doubt the worst was Gary,IN. comming home from the Joliet race. I stopped @ the Flying J was gone from my rig no more than 15min. to come out and find everything gone,stolen just that quick. I can tell you it was a sick feeling . I was very lucky getting the rig and car back minus all my tools, spare parts, and some other stuff in the trailer.-----Other than these few occurances I have had alot of fun and good times. Oh by the way I have yet to fall off the roof of anything while "On The Road" like a buddy of mine.
