      That scares the $#!& out of you, but I will be from now on, everytime you make a pass you will go over a safety checklist. If you don't have one now, you should make one up. Fighter Pilots don't do that for the fun.

      Glad everything turned out OK... And a 12.22 is a solid time.

      Dang that is very scary! That remindes me of the time I was in my 79 blazer and the rear bearings were so bad they cut the axle in half. I was soooo lucky. How lucky? Well I was pulling up to a stop light at about 15 mph when I saw my tire roll past me. That was just after I got off the highway doing at least 75mph.
      My only other cheat with death was in my 67 chevy when both rear torsion bars snapped at the same time from rust and I flew off the road at 110 mph. Scary as hell but I limped home and replaced the rear with leafs.
