Dont know how, or why it happened.

We as a group we all parked together. We all pulled in, no one parked in front of the light pole, someone would have had to back in. And as fate would have it, we did not setup our tent in the empty spot. After we parked, we all went over to registration. Some heard a car running wide open for just a second, then crash. The Austin A35 came from the next row of parking spots at very high speed and hit the light pole. It was like it was launched. Sooooo lucky no one was walking across and got hit and none of us sat in chairs in this spot. The driver was very badly hurt, and had to be mercy flighted out.

WOW. Talk about luck. Hope the driver is ok. Bet the throttle stuck when he was starting it. I unfortunately know what that is like. Looks like the front end of the Imperial didn't even get touched.

Bummer of a way to get started. Did the owner of the Coronet 500 continue on with the Tour?

Wow... that sucks... and he had to phrig up 2 Mopars while he was at it      Are they continuing with the tour ?   Tough break for them.


Last month at Rhinebeck show up my way,  an old dude's 39 Plymouth ( SBC w/ blower  ) hot rod  had a similar kinda deal like that Austin.    For some unknown reason they decided to move it once it was already parked...   it's a hard starting pig on a good day....  and it has a generic hot rod wiring kit WITHOUT NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH. 
Somebody left it in gear and was pumping the throttle to get it to start and it left rubber across the grass, the ashphalt road and plowed straight into another guys Hemi rat rod . 


Anyway,  good luck on the tour

Cool! The Tour is coming right through my town (Valdosta). Cecil's SGMP is a nice racing facility..............but it's going to be very HOT!!!!

I look forward to seeing some nice mopars cruising through!
