Herb Lanphear involved in crash on way home from Jesup

[Tim Weber]

Herb asked me to let all know.

He was sideswiped in downtown Atlanta last night by what we think were urban street racers. He was hit on the passenger side and was run into a retaining wall on the drivers side of his truck.

Herb is banged up with a broken nose, broken hand and lots of bumps and bruises.

His racing equipment is trashed. Two lower units gone, two power heads gone, tools gone, new Runne Hydro full of holes, trailer totaled, 7-8 props missing too.

He needs some really good stuff to replace what he lost in the wreck . He's open to offers.

Hope you get healed up soon, Herb! I am sorry this happened to you.

I witnessed a high speed street race several years ago in Atlanta returning from Jesup. Nicki and I were on I-75 through town (no bypass taken), after dark when about a half dozen late model Camaros began weaving through traffic at high rates of speed. They were using all lanes available and making holes to change lanes were there weren't any. There no accidents that I saw, but it was plenty scarey. Total disregard for anyone's personal safety. I have never forgot it, and always remember to stay aware of such possibilities on my Jesup trips.
