Why you Don't drift on the street.

So heres a story that might make you smile or make you want to go back in time and smack my 17 year old face hard for doing something this stupid.

Anyway it was about 3 weeks after scoring my 1973 Ford mustang and i decided that i wanted to go out and have some fun with the 351 under the hood before i yanked it for a rebuild. So i went out and did some drifting not to far from my house.

On my last drift of the day i overcorrected and slid into the curb ending up "parked" right infront of a sheriffs house who was having a barb with the judge and the traffic prosicuter just happened to be his neighbor..... needless to say i got a ticket. but wait theres more!!

the shock of hitting the curb caused my timming set to jump a tooth and the new timming resulted in a valve kissing a piston finishing off my engine.

Last time im doing something that stupid for awhile.

Boy I bet both brain cells got together on that one huh?

yup. I think they agreed to try and father a 3rd after that one.

Brings back memories!!!!!!When I was 18 my stepbrother was 17 we decide to drag race on thge way home.Well after crossing the double yellow line ,speeding,careless and reckless and about 319 other infractions,I get pulled by a copper.He walks up to the car and looks in and starts yelling at me telling me how stupid I was.When the smoke cleared from around his head,I noticed it was my Sunday school teacher's husband Eddie.He finally let me go,and weeks later we laughed about it.Thank heavens it was Eddie.

When I was 22 I and a friend were pulled over by the Local yocal (new cop) we were Racing down main street and we pulled into my friends dads shop driveway, The Cop pulled up and ask if we knew Drag Racing was Illegal??? I looked at my Friend and said we weren't Drag Racing we were rapid accelerating from point A to point B to see who could get there first....... The Cop gave us that Deer in the headlight Look and just shook his head and said thats Drag Racing ! I again looked at my bud and said well then someone lied to us.. The cop got mad and left, mumbling about telling our Fathers..... I told him to make sure he told my Father I won!

a few years later I was racing a guy on his Motorcycle down the local Drag... I was in access of 120 on my bike, I got clocked and given a ticket for 55 in a 25..... I went to the JP that monday morning and explained he didn't give me the right ticket that he radared the wrong guy!!!! the JP was a friend of mine and ask how I thought he was wrong? I explained to him when I saw the cop I was doing 120 not 55, the JP threw the ticket out said if the cop can't radar the right vehicle ticket dismissed...... That cop was Sizzling mad then ...... the JP told me to drive safe on the way out.....
