Tod-"then I broke the only key on the planet that fit the ignition off because I used it to pry a fuse out...so I am in the staging lanes and I don't have a key to fit the car...everyone had to drive around my car for 3 hours because the steering was locked..."

Thanks, Tod i had a terrible day and i am still dieing laughing thinking about your time... sounds like something that would happen to me or all of us!!!

Brother we all have been there, At least you saw green, My first pass i was so scared of the people watching i left on the second yellow, But one thing for sure you can now say you done it, It's called Learning :!: :!: CONGRATS :!: :!:


''JUST MY TWO CENT'S WORTH''

That's a great picture. Now all you need to do is come on down to Oklahoma and make some passes in my roadster. I want you to go into the 9's also but this time in the quarter.

Glad to see ya SMILING, Rudy !! :D :D :D :D

Rudy, thanks for sharing you guts. We have all done it! Many years ago I was running a 11.20 second 1/4 mile car. I had the opportunity to drive a 9.0 injected door car. After the pass I got out on the return road and threw up!

Got to love those first time funs. Mine wasnt a first night it was the first year. Im a dirt oval guy and the first night i had everyhting ready to go they called for my first race i got all straped in and the dang car wouldnt start. the rest of the year was like that from bad starters to blown motors. until my final race of the year were my steering linkage broke and i went wide open into the wall. Ouch!!! it was one one year i wont forget tho lots of fun.

Hey Tod I needed that!!! I laughed so hard the only thing that could have been better is if I could have been there. If I were I probably would have broken a rib 'cause I would have laughed at least 3 solid hrs. :lol: :lol:

my first time was in 1973. in a 69 roadrunner with a 4 speed. shakin on the insides so bad i almost lost my supper, then when i got up to the lights i rolled out to far thru that baby in reverse and backed up. lights go to work i had that car screamin and dropped the clutch oh shi- im still in reverse!!thank god nobody was behind me cause i would have run them over.the guys in the tower laughed like hell at me the crowd laughed at me, i felt like a REAL dumba$$.lolall i could do was shut her off and get out and take a bow.

LOLOLOL !! Taking a bow was the CLASS way of chuckling at yourself !!
