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!!!

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.

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:
