LMAO Larry! If the shoe were on the other foot, would YOU want to be stomped by an old pick-up?
You guys are reminding me how lucky I really was. The one time I got caught, the cop let me go. I pretty much collapsed into the drivers seat-through the window.

After 9yrs of playing out there..........they only got me ONCE!! It was for "breaking traction". Buddy left in his pickup, just blazin' the tires and going like snot. I was caught in traffic pulling out, found a spot and rolled out. Now, this was in my wagon(when it was still street legal) and I rolled thru the gears, never reaching 35 mph, but chirped the tires in 2nd and 3rd. The old bias ply's I ran on the street were easy pickins for making some noise..LMAO. From out of nowhere the lights and sirens are wailin'. I get pulled over down the street and get a ticket for "breaking traction while shifting, TWICE". That was what was written on the ticket. Geez...is that all you can get me for after all these years? Oh well. Cop did tell me I had a "neat car" LOL!! Back then the wagon went 13's(since I borrowed the motor from the truck at that time-'95-96?).

Yea, Russ, you can still race at Irwindale. Seems like a long time ago - well I guess it was, hehe. I went in the Navy in '83, but before that I had a souped up camaro, and, like Freightrain got way too many tickets. Now all I got is an old 70 f100 to play with. - Although it's probably better that way - I at least can use it to haul stuff and not have to prove to everybody that I've got the fastest car on the planet. I have to admit, though, I like to lite 'em up in front of the $30k trucks.
