Sad day in NASCAR........Sprint cars are the little ones with the big wing on top

The NASCAR community was left stunned Wednesday night by the news that driver Jason Leffler had been killed in an accident during a sprint-car race in New Jersey.

Leffler, 37, died in a crash at Bridgeport Speedway, a five-eighths mile high-banked dirt track in Swedesboro, N.J. He was pronounced dead shortly after 9 p.m. Eastern time, according to the Associated Press.

Hey Tomahawk, I like your setup and was going to do that myself I thought. I have a 34' 5'er and that means I could only pull a trailer about 3 or 4 feet long behind it. In GA I checked some time ago and they length limit was something like 60 feet (not sure it's been a while) and no matter what you back trailer must have brakes too.

I would have had to bought a 24 foot 5th wheel to stay legal in GA so I didn't bother.
My question is, do you get stopped and questioned about it? What are IL laws for length?

Hi Guys,
The trip home went very well, we got back home today at 2:30 this afternoon. I did my usual routine when we get home, turn on propane, go down the basement, turn on the pump for the well and light the pilot on the water heater....done. About an hour and a half later I'm carrying a bucket of tools down the basement (I take way too many tools with me on these trips) to my little woodworking shop. I open the door to the utility room and before I turn the light on I can hear water splashing. I turn the light on and half the floor in the utility room is covered in water. I looked and water was shooting out of the pipe from the pressure relief valve on the water heater. Luckily, most of the water going in the floor drain but some of it was getting blown out on the floor by the force of the water shooting out the pipe. We got that mess cleaned up and finished unpacking the camper. Then I decided to mow the lawn, so I tried to start the mower. It cranks half a turn and stops......arrrrrrrgh! The &#@%$ solenoid valve on the carburetor that I just replaced this winter is leaking and after sitting for two weeks, the entire motor is filled to the gills with gas.....Doh!
Still, it's good to be home.

@FORDTUF1 - The whole rig is a little less than 63 feet. Of the states I travel to, I'm only illegal in Illinois....yea! I have not been stopped or questioned and I try not to give a LEO any reason to stop me.

I have got to do some catching up, I need to read a few pages back, but.......did someone say Joel bought a Dodge?

That's a YES. He bought one of those Dodge Jeeps.
Welcome home, kind of? Sounds like you had your hands full. It's 11:50 and I've been working since 5:00am after watching a triple OT Stanley Cup final game 1 (at least my second favorite team won!). Needless to say...I'm beat.

Again...glad you made it back. Please share photos??? PM or link to bucket...
