Jay F	Heard the Wild Buck team got in an accident with their hauler in early July and haven't seen them since. I'm wondering what the status is and wishing them all the best. Hope no one was seriously injured. Happy Pulling, Jay Reply Quote

Jay F	Thanks for the info. Glad to hear that no one was seriously injured Sorry to hear that they had that much damage. I had heard the truck was wrecked but I didn't know the tractor was wrecked to. Reply Quote

Jared, Thanks for the pics. Glad you guys werent' hurt too bad. I know it is hard to say it, but the life you saved by your instincts is worth more than the tractor. I totaled out my truck several years ago to avoid a spun out car on the Interstate. Glad everyone is OK. Has the insurance company been treating you guys OK on the tractor? That can get messy sometimes. I know they won't give you enough for the semi truck and trailer compared to what you feel it is worth. Hoping things work in your favor in the end because of the way you reacted while driving.

What I heard at Freeport	A car pulled out in front of them and they took evasive action to aviod t-boning them. Truck and trailer rolled and the tractor came out of the trailer. If I heard the story right the truck hit a tree and almost a house. There was an article about it in the Sauk Valley paper from Sterling Illinois. Reply Quote

The accident was east of polo il about 3 or 4 miles which is only 10 miles or so north of where we live. We were on our way to jefferson Wi. It was drizzling out there was a 82 year old lady from Colorado that kind of stopped at a stop sign (we had the right of way) then she left the stop sign and just kind of coasted which left us no where to go. We tryed avoiding her and still hit the front of her car. We went of the road and all I remember is trees and thinking how bad the tractor was getting bounced around. We ran over one decent sized tree then came to a rest with the semi on one side of a tree, up next to a house and brick wall shop, and the trailor/tractor on the other side with the tree in the middle of the trailor. We havent tooken the tractor apart yet the motor and rearend appears allright and hopefully the crank, because the frame bent so bad it went over and touched the front damper, so we will have to get that stuff magnifluxed. I think everything else is pretty bad. 1 back/front tire and rim, roll cage, steering colum, turbo broke off and went though the hood. and the whole front end/frame. It all looks ugly.Everytime I look at it I find something else bent up. Brad might take up the offer sat. if I dont have to work at Sauk praire. Thanks for the support hopefully you will see a WILD BUCK back on the track.

Anonymous User	Have you ever considered going to Bowling Green instead of Sauk? You can watch BSTP all summer long, but BG only comes once a year! DPS Reply Quote

	Re: Hey Aggirl August 18, 2009 02:50PM
Anonymous User	Thanks, been to Bowling Green b4.. Have a little one to take care of, little to high priced this time around.. maybe again sometime... Enjoyed Bowling Green, as much as Tomah, and the 40 pulls we attend in every sanction all summer long. Reply Quote

	Re: Hey Aggirl August 18, 2009 04:37PM
Anonymous User	I go to BG every year and I also cross sanctioning bodies with the pulls in eastern iowa, wisconsin, illinois, and missouri. BG is definitely a lot of fun even though it is a long drive. Have fun at Sauk and maybe Dustin can keep his streak going. Sounds like Baders are going to sauk and skipping BG this year. Reply Quote
