Biggest Embarrasement!

[DAYTONA]

I had a really good running AAR.....buddy had a new Grand National Buick.....lots of BS between us about his "Buick"

too much tire spin and I lost the first race by a length or so... took him by a fender the next 2 races....I was very impressed by the black Buick...

Did it cause any damage to the car or did you get lucky?

Luckily it only rolled the fender a little bit at the bottom where the tire held the car up.

The very 1st night my challenger arrived on the car transport place for missiouri I let it warm up and then me and my buddy drove it home back to my house...So of course I decided to jump on it...dropped the slapstick down in low built up the rpms and "slapped" it into second the only problem was the slapstick shifter button stuck and i slammed it the whole way into park....talk about hitting a brick wall!!!

I had the slapstick button stick stick on my Challenger convertible one night while racing a Camaro.  I went from 1st to reverse.  I never took my foot off the gas and shifted back into 2nd.  The 440 stayed running.  The guys in the Camaro couldn't believe how much rubber could be burned by a 440 automatic Challenger between 1st and 2nd.  I never told them the difference.

If drawing unwanted attention to you and your car is embarrasement then here's mine. This happened in the early 80's. OK, I work for Canada Post as a tech and sometimes we were asked to fix street mailboxes. This day I had my Cuda at work and was asked if I'd go to a mailbox outside a mall and bring the mail back because the pick-up guy couldn't open the lock. Once there I got it opened, shovelled all the mail in a canvass bag and put it in the trunk. What I didn't know was that a concerned citizen called the cops. As I pulled away 3 cruisers came out of nowhere and boxed me in, just like something you see on TV, and while I was being questioned a sizeable crowd developed. At the end of it all the cops told me they were ready to ram me if I didn't stop, I had to ask what he meant by "T-bone".

My Barracuda has become notorious for breaking motor mounts.


Last summer, during the big local cruise, me and a couple friends from work were cruising around, with all the other cars.  Well, I end up at the front on a red light, and my friends are urging me to take off hard.  Of course, since I had just replaced the motor mount not a week before, I obliged.  Light turned green, I floored it.  CLUNK.  The brand new motor mount snapped.  I had to limp her on home, while my friends laughed at me.

I think Schumakers has a interlocking mount that will not fail

I'll be getting solid mounts for it this summer.

I have a couple.Twas the morning after halloween 1983 when i was 19.My brothers 67 tricked out Camero's alarm kept going off all night so he finally shut it off(we know now if was being set off on purpose by a thief)Next morning it was gone.So I just built a new motor for my 72 Chevelle,its was a balanced blueprinted 350horse 350 that was putting out alot more than that.SO i hopped in my car and was going to go look for my brothers car out in the country where they often dump stolen cars.When leaving the Apt's I romped on the throttle and broke the tires loose.So i decided to really step on it and test the new motor and white smoke was bellowing out from the back of the car.When I got the car straight from being sideways I looked ahead and to my dismay I saw a cop in his car at a call box right across the street fanning his hand around his face because of the tire smoke=OUCh
I got an exebition of speed,breaking traction,traveling without due caution and wreckless driving all on one ticket,lol
My brothers car was found a week later,nothing left,completely stripped,frame and all.

The next one was when i was 23 I had a 73 240-6 pack,built the motor to the hilt,headers,3 sidedraft 40 dceo webers ect,it was fast.I was racing a 66 mustand and blew his doors.I saw a cop coming the other way when i was at around 110mph in the city.I saw his flip his cruiser around to chase me.A good buddy was sitting right beside me and he said "ditch Him" so i said ok.I laid in to the throttle and left him,going in and out of residential areas,he couldnt corner like i could.So about an hour passed and it was 2 am now,so we went into Denny's for a meal.We were seated by 2 cops in the next booth....2 more cops came in  and sat with them.We heard one cop ask another"Have you seen a little black 240z  drag racing around?"It was racing another car and ditch us when we tried to pursue the car.I told the waitress promptly "Check Please"lol
