Jeffs update

Thoughts and prayers my friend. Glad to see you survived such a horrific crash and time will help heal. Not much more that I can say but get well soon.

Jeff, You are a very lucky man. Get well soon. I, Casie, Twila & Boots are looking forward to seeing you at the track again soon.

Just a note..... Mike Pearson, D2 SS racer also blew a steer tire on the way to Gainesville last week. He was able to control the rig but this should be a warning to all of us!! Check your tires every time before you go to a race. Tire pressures and tire manufacture dates are important! I'm not saying doing this would have prevented either of these blow outs but why chance your life on it! Jim

So glad you are doing better Jeff!

Great post Jim. Yes I had a steer tire blow on my toter on Thursday evening while heading home to pick up my trailer and head to Gainesville for the points race and gators. After seeing the massive destruction on Jeffs rig I feel very lucky. My tires had plenty of tread but were timed out on age. I will be changing my steer tires at least every 4 years from now on.
Lesson learned. Jeff was very lucky to crawl out of that wreckage alive. Get well soon Jeff
On a side note I keep my speed down. Usually I run 65 mph. Sit back relax and enjoy the ride.

After seeing the pictures, Jeff is a very lucky man. God was definitely riding with him. Miracles happen each day and I think this falls in that category.

God Almighty was with you and His Angels protected you from this nasty wreck!
Get well my friend; we are praying for you for a quick recovery!
God Bless!

Yikes. Heal fast to one of the best comedians in Stock eliminator, the Friday night Matt and Jeff shows were hilarious.

Great people do have good luck & someone watching over them. Hope for a speedy recovery & get well soon Jeff. Sorry, not your time to go, you still have to drink more beers with me & your friends ...

Ken....I noticed that "Steer Safe" offers units for RV's....I used to run them on our OTR Fleet and they WORK.

I have gotten home. It's a nice thing to have the great friends. I do appreciate it. I will post more later. Just tired, but alive, and I guess my Guardian Angle was with me and my wife stayed home to work on her new quilting machine. Right seat would not have made it.
