Did the driver have a heart attack?
Any info on the perp/driver?
Prayers for the injured.
It's an epidemic! A car crashed into a crowd outside the world soccer thingy today too! Is that a Mustang?
Madison used to be the only city to sponsor an unlimited hydroplane called the Miss Madison.
There arent many unlimited hydroplane races any more. Too expensive I guess. It costs tons of money to sponsor one of the big Thunderboats. They arent really Thunderboats any more now that they run on helicopter engines. I miss the old Piston Engines, and I think maybe that is another reason the sport is dying.
I dont keep up with them much anymore , I heard Miss Budweiser was gone , It died with Bernie Little, a Bud dealer in Florida who paid the bills.
