Ralph broke five ribs and has punchured lung and is serious condition. They were in Merils 68 Valiant and was hit by a truck. what probaly saved there lives was being in that Valiant. Talked to Meril today and hopes to go home tomorrow. I will keep everybody posted. Keep all of our family in your prayers and thoughts. Thanks Ron Parker

Thanks for the update Ron, and I'll put in some prayers and a good word too...sad to hear something like that especially about legends in our field.

Wow... I am glad they came away from that... alive.
One of my "rules of the road"... stay away from vehicles that are bigger then yours. (and rule #2 stay away from stationary objects)

Sucks. Meril is one of the good guys. I hope he gets well and is safe at home soon.

That's awful news. I've never met Meril, but I've watched his dedicated involvement with the slant-6 community for many years. I hope he and his recover fast and well.

I spoke with Meril yesterday and he seemed in great spirits and vowed to be at the Knoxville race, although not driving...

The last time I talked to Meril, he had "mended" but was still working on getting stronger, he said his arm is giving him the most pain and trouble as far as getting back to normal.

Meril is up and around, and has won a few rounds at the races last year. Still mending though, as The Good Doctor says.
