Bryan, Yes I agree. A few years ago coming home we stopped for gas
outside Sacramento.Right by the gas station someone had broken a water
main and the street was flooded about 2 feet deep. I asked the guy in
the station if there were any holes or big dips in that street and he
said no. Of course guys that work in gas stations in Californa don't
speak much english so I took a chance anyway and slowly towed the
racecar trailer back and forth down that street. After about a half hour
a cop came by and asked what the hell I was doing. I told him I was just
cleaning off the bottom of my truck and trailer. Thought he was going
to give me a drunk test before I got out of there. Anyway the truck and
trailer were clean and dry by the time I got home.
Doug Odom in big ditch still getting ready for world of speed.
