jeffster 60 Posted June 30, 2004 Yes, Mark was doing a practice start, away from the tapes towards the pits, and didnt notice the tractor, with excavation bucket lowered, heading towards him... Mark hit the bucket with real force, and banged himself up pretty badly...Well, it ended his career, didnt it..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
