nightime Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I was camped with a guy that owned Hi Jumper sand rails, he went for "a quick spin" to test out something? on his rail. He only had the lap belt and no helmet... rolled it in the flats near camp and had to go to the E.R.. Saw him later that year and asked him how he was doing? He said come put your hand on my head, I didn't ... want to! But...I did, dam he had a dent in his head like a baseball bat hit him for a home run. U NEVER KNOW...drive safe!

chrisvuc Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 i hope you're not the friend who came up with the great idea of him competing in that race!!! i love going to the races, and was there during the sand car challenge, but left early, and apparently missed that. i just can't understand how people take their beatiful sand cars out on that compact dirt track. i am glad he is alright, and was able to walk away.

REALLY.....?ARE YOU COMPLEATLY SERIOUS? WHERE ON EARTH WOULD YOU COME UP WITH THAT IDEA? HE'S A BIG BOY WHO HAS THE CAPIBILITY OF MAKING DECISIONS ON HIS OWN :..APARENTLY WITH BALLS BIGGER THAN MOST OF US, HE'S JUST A GUY THAT LIKES A GOOD CHALLENGE AND HAS THE MONEY TO PICK UP THE PIECES WHEN HE DECIDES TO PULL OUT ALL THE STOPS AND GIVE A GOOD SHOW. WITH OUT GUYS LIKE MARTY WHO DARE TO LIVE ON THE EDGE NOW AND AGAIN, THE WORLD WOULD BE A PRETTY FU**IN BOARING PLACE IT ALSO KIND OF BAFFELS ME HOW YOU CANT UNDERSTAND A GUY THAT HAS THE BALLS TO ENTER SUCH AN EVENT AND YET SUPPORT THE EVENT BY BUYING A TICKET TO SEE IT I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED : Edited March 5, 2006 by Don29palms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
