    Aaron, was on his way home from Jim Rizzoli's where he had picked up his old dragester that Kyle has been racing in Div. 7 Top Comp. From what he has told me a big gust of wind hit the trailer and got it whipping, and eveything he tryed, wouldnt straighten it out and he ended up heading for oncoming traffic. So he opted for the feild where the truck and trailer rolled and caught fire. Truck, Trailer, and Race Car are a total lose.
    He said he has hurt his shoulder and is shaken up but other wise is ok.

    It is sad news to report, especailly since this week he had pretty much takin care of his funding efforts for the A-Fuel Car. Aaron was going to run the car for his new sponsors here in Salt Lake tomorrow, but then was told by the Lucas's that they decided to keep it in Sonoma for the Div Race, deal or not Morgan was racing the car. So the reason for heading to Rizzoli's too at least have some sort of car to display.

    I will update as I hear from Aaron....

    wow that bites. glad he made it out alive.
    we had a semi truck last year going across a bridge up in the columbia river gorge get blown over the guard rail and into the water below. the driver of that truck was killed.
    i hope everything works out for his team on the sponsorship deal.
