    Just got word that site member Jim Bulger,aka Blue Lemon,jack knifed on the way to the Arkansas meet after blowing a tire and wrecked his early and mid Fords into each other. He was towing the early with his mid that he bought when new. Both vehicles have substantial damage Im told and are driveabe but the early bent the frame and the doghouse lid wont shut now and the passenger door cant open. The mid has damage to both sides and the rear bumper ripped off. If it werent for bad luck Jim wouldnt have any luck at all. I hate to hear news like that.
    The same thing happened to me about 10 years ago and I wrecked both of my vehicles and my tow dolly. Not a good feeling at all. Thankfully nobody in my wreck or Jims was injured.

    It was tought to see Lil Red and the Blue Lemon like this. Such a freak crash. We are just thankful they were not hurt. The crash happened in one of the most heavily traveled roads in this area. Lucky no other vehicles were involved.
