Three died and one lost his arm at the shoulder! eek He was always a daredevil after that, he thought he should have died with his friends. frown I tripped over the broken pistol grip shifter handle in the local junkyard almost exactly a year after the wreck... angel


My dad told me of a similar story, a 6-pack 71 RR or challenger, forget now. The guy was out at the street race spot doing solo passes but kept going, or the throttle hung and went straight off the end of the road into the trees and died. They developed the area now but even back in the early 2000's you could still see all the trees in there the car cut in half when it went in.
