Hi Jerry. This is what I remember hearing. I might even go so far as to say I think that I heard the owner was decapitated in the accident.

I say "them" when describing the motor in my earlier post, because I think there might have been a second LT5 modified for boat duty, as well.

Rick had ALOT of collectibles. I hope the family knew/knows what to ask for all of this stuff.
