Shit, why did you tell him that! Now he will start doing tire research.

They were OEM spec tires. That’s why… those accountants…

Whoa! Billy is a lucky boy. :S
Damion, tell him to get healed up soon and get back out there with us.

Holy sweet mother of mithra!

I’m amazed that Bily’s injuries weren’t a whole lot worse!

#8

We are lucky Billy is still with us!!! Holy cow.

He’s had a bad year with tires. He was fixing a ripped panel on his gooseneck at CMP from a tire failure on a Sebring trip.

Man. That truck looks awful.:blink:

WOW! I heard about it at Barber but didnt expect to see that. Billy, glad you aren’t seriously hurt, that’s quite a scene.

That’s one messedup truck! Billy, glad to hear you are OK; we missed you at Barber. Get back soon.

I went by Billy’s shop yesterday to see it in person. You cannot possible appreciated how lucky he is until you’ve seen it. Here are a few more pics. He told me that he was actually trapped between the “lowered” roof and the center console. That actually kept him from being bounced around and getting severely injured.
