Normally everyone pulls in, looks like he tried to turn in and got high centered. Rear wheels are off the ground

I imagine those drivers have a lot to think about when they’re making their way to the next venue.

Looks like they got into a residential area and couldn't get turned around.

Well, that sucks. Looks like the hospitality rig, but I could be wrong. If so, the driver of that truck is Pat, and he is the longest tenured driver in the pits, going back to 1993 and the original Yamaha big rig truck. He is a total pro, so something went wrong here.

I am always amazed by how low US trucks run to the ground, for no apparent reason, NASCAR and other stuff is all the same.

I saw them pulling the truck backwards.  I know from pulling in there it drops faster than you realize

I doubt the Russian Mafia would allow it.

Not sure if it's the same driver nowadays but back when Dungey and Musquin were racing that rig used to park down the street from me from time to time because the driver lived in my town. Saw Dungey's and Musquin's bikes pulled out once in awhile. Before that the driver drove the Monster Kawasaki rig during the Villopoto days. Same deal. If that Yanmar? sign said Dunkin Donuts I'd swear it was my neighborhood in Connecticut. Building looks just like the spot he used to park.

Op mentioned above that this is Defiance Ohio

With KTM having some facilities in NE Ohio, must be hanging out in Ohio due to the next round being Detroit.

Yeah I saw that. Just making a comparison. Area looks very similar. Here's a pic of it in Ct back a handful of years ago. You can barely see the similar building behind it.

Its a liitle shop that is well know for generator repair. Oddly I have seen most of the mx teams trucks there, Indy car, and Nascar haulers there. We were cleaning the yard when I saw it slowing down before he got stuck.

I'll give this guy the benefit of the doubt. I swiped a parked car with my travel trailer last weekend right in front of my house, which is on a cul de sac. Same turn around I've probably done 50 times while towing the same trailer.

Last time I had an accident was 25 years ago, at 16 years old. I've driven and towed vehicles of all sizes over the years, confidently. No excuses, just screwed up, had my head in the clouds... I'll take a 1mph door scrape all day. Felt bad for the lady and her new Hyundai, but it'll get fixed.

That shop does most of the generators found in Featherlite race trailers. It was heading there for some work.

Not the same driver for KTM as then. Also, very curious who the Kawi diver is as Big B is SoCal based and was the driver for the 450 team for something like 20 years and this is the first year he hasn’t drove it.

They were doing maintenance on it this morning and it was gone by noon. I didn't want to say where until it was gone. My river house is less than 100 yards from there. Very nice people.
