What a nightmare! I think that a semi hit it/him. The semi drivers on I-40 are all over the road here - distracted by all the technology in the cabs, IMO. Glad I have a loud horn and bright high beams!

I-40 Memphis to Little Rock is the most dangerous interstate I have ever driven. The Big Trucks delight in pulling into the left lane right in front of you and sitting beside another truck for miles often at speeds well below 65 MPH (speed limit is 70). This creates a lot of traffic build ups and road rage. Nothing worse than trying to get around one of these guys with a 9'6 beam and someone tailgating your trailer while another driver try's to cut you off by coming around in the right lane while you try to maintain a safe following distance from Joe trucker.

I have intentionally left out Larry's, Razors, one times, taboma's, Jim's, seajets, and some others that will probably post up. I think that's all I have in my puter, and what has been sent to me.

Whatcha' got in your puter?

I love the Skater in post #43 - top right picture - all white with blue deck. Very classy. Who is he and where does he run?

Nice pic of the Mobil 1 Skater and my good friend Tom Russell in the cockpit. I wired that whole boat. The owner Rob Loeffler is who I bought both of my Skaters from. Bring backs memories and tells me how old I am getting!
I do not think any other 28 won more races during its time.

Ron, you old? My wife tells me that I am the "old one". Your history on Skaters is renowned. D.K.
