    Trying to help my two buddies(no names mentioned but you guys know who you are) load their flathead salt car on to a trailer Saturday afternoon,I get the job of steering by turning the front wheels by hand.As we move the car forward to get it straight.I guess my two "pals" didn't think to look up while pushing the car forward, in result knocking me flat on my back and are runnig me over as I am down.I just tought you guys might get as good of a laugh from this as we did. :D

    Sure beats a 4 X 4, my girlfriend put me out of work for three months doing that, started at my foot, right up my leg and exited over my left hip. I still have scars on the side of my left knee from being ground into the pavement and flashbacks anytime she starts the truck and I'm in front or behind it.

    If you got run over, the car's not low enough.

    You were lucky, and so was the car.
    As a side note, a gal I know was run over at the Altamont Motorsports Park, near Tracy, Calif. It was a few years back, and the track was closing up in the evening after the races. She was there to support friends with a Late Model American race car. The car was loaded on the dual axle trailer, and the truck started to pull out of the pits. She tried to step onto the rear bumper just as truck moved she slipped and fell face first to the ground. No one saw her and they continued to drive away. Luckily(?) she did not have time to try to move as the trailer went directly over her-legs to head. The position and the fact that it was a dirt pit area, and being very thin, likely saved her from any true injury. Spent a couple of days in the hospital, with no breaks or anyhting ruptured.
    After that her nick name was "Speed Bump".

    Sing it GranPA

    A HAMB'r got run over by a Hot Rod
    Load'n up to race on Saturday
    You should look both ways jus before cross'n
    Is what Dutched 32 would probly say



    He was sniffin to much high test
    And they begged him to go slow
    Still he packed up all his race gear
    And he hurried out the door and to the show



    When they found him Sunday morning
    At the scene of the attack
    He had grease marks on his forehead
    And incriminating tire marks on his back



    It's not Bonnyville without HAMB'rs
    Those 32's all look so swell
    But she's not runnin like she used to
    Did we forget to pack the tools, and tach and dwell?

    Tach and Dwell?
