JFR Technology Center BooBoo

[clwill]

OK, this is a little snarky, but this made me howl with laughter. The JFR "Technology Center" trailer pulled into Brainerd this afternoon and got stuck on the sign at the entrance. No rocket scientists were hurt in the incident.

looks like the sign over entrance to staging lanes, well inside the facility.
what that rig is doing there is anyone's guess

This one drove by my work this afternoon, with Johns rig about 15 min behind.


I agree Mike, looks like it's going into the staging lanes.

Oops!

I just talked to a friend who is pitted right near where this happened. He said rumor around this pits is.... once they got the truck out, the driver grabbed it suitcase and left.

It's true what they say-- "You can't fix stupid!"

In defence of the truck driver........my guess is.....he (thought) he heard over the PA,
"ATTENTION-ATTENTION in the pit area, all diesel semi's to lanes 5 & 6."

That sign has taken out a few roof air conditioners over the years too.

I remember Gene Snow trying to go under the road course bridge back in the 80's. Jacked him up pretty bad.

Last year bruce litton got a rig stuck coming down a hill past the bridge back where the golf cart rentals are. I don't know how it got back there but it was a mess.

I've looked at this picture a few times now, and my mind keeps associating it with this Gary Larson Farside Cartoon (one of my personal favorites of his)

came to find out friend of mine is one of the guys who finally helped them
'unstick' the truck - process of deflating and inflating drive and steer tires
finally unstuck the truck, then ether to reinflated/lock bead on a few tires
that where on the rim.

couldn't they just dump the air ride ??????? tires is old school and a pain

I wasn't there , but just sayin'

good question, wasn't there either, only going by story i was told.

My guess is that dumping the air bags was the 1st thing they tried & it wasn't enough. Next thing would be to leave the bags empty & start dropping the tires!!! Yes, it does suck!!!


Thx for sharing Mike!

Well I heard there was a 15 year old out there who would have had it unstuck in 5 minutes!
