We had a great time at the Nationals (as always).? It was great to see everyone who attended this year.

?

We also had a little excitement going home (which is starting to become a Fairlane Nationals tradition that I could do without).

?

As we were southbound in I-75, I experienced an abrupt series of dramatic swings on my 24’ enclosed trailer with my Talladega inside.? It began to swing like a pendulum (nearly a 90 degree swing) as I was in the center southbound lane with traffic on either side of me.? Fortunately, traffic all backed off as I tried to get things back under control.? Once I was able to scrub off enough speed, I was able to get things straightened out.? It still didn’t feel right, so I took the next exit to check everything out.

?

Yep, I still had 3 wheels out of four… One had departed company – hub and all.?

?

I managed to limp to the next exit, where I could at least find a parking lot with some space in it.

?

Fortunately, Cy Schmidt came to my rescue.? After driving all the way to Cincinnati, he dropped off his car from his trailer and doubled back up I-75 to help me with my predicament.?? My eternal gratitude for his help yesterday.? He wound up trailering my car all the way to my house while I limped home on 3 wheels.

?

Thanks again for the rescue!

?

We are already looking forward to next year!
