DD, since Jimmy S. hasn't answered this :?: i'll answer it for him, kinda funny and not funny. We were headed to Holly Springs at the same time, but we had issues of our own, we had a blowout on Hwy 6 going east just outside of Oxford Ms., Jimmy passed us going West comming home from a race in Ala., he didn't reconagize us broke down across the 4 lane with median because he had never seen the tow vehicle before. We got a new tire and continued on, we got a call form a friend that said Jimmy was on the side of the road half way between Oxfod and Batesville with his car out of the trailer and the fire department was there. I called Jimmy after we got to the track, it turns out that a wheel bearing went bad and caught fire, fast thinking he unloads his car and golf cart while his wife calls 911, he get's the fire out and calls a friend to come pick up the car and he limps on home (about 20 miles) on 3 wheels, Gotta love those torsion axles.
