Anybody know the story on the 1719 car at parker?

[tbburg]

The old NRT 1719 car(that ugly green thing,.. ) apparently crashed and burned at Parker. Dr and Codog went to hospital and ok/recovering. Anyone know what happened?

According to Tom Nissley a clutch line blew and sprayed all over the manifold causing the fire. It's a total loss...

Really to bad. It was a really well built jeep. I hope everybodys Okay now.

Sorry for your guys loss, that thing's been around!
Just incase any involved parties are here, any chance you guys could elaborate on what kinda clutch line it was?

Wow, I heard it caught fire, but didn't know it burned to the ground.
I am glad the girls are OK!

According to a guy in car #1716:

The Snow family bought the Nissley car. Mother and daughter were in the car when it caught fire. Both are going to be OK. Smoke inhalation and 2nd degree burns

They may never know the actual cause. I have my own ideas of what could have caused such a total burn but for now ill keep them to myself.

We sold the jeep last year. It really is heart breaking to see it like this. My dad brother and I as well as a some great friends put a ton of time and energy into it..
