Yeah, I remember a 4x4 Vega running around our area back then. They were always good for a laugh.

Funny story. I raced a lot at Texas Raceway. I had my small block, yellow 1969 Malibu on the trailer. I pulled it off the trailer and was cruising through the pits. I start hearing this voice yelling "I want you!" I kept hearing it over and over and couldn't figure it out. I finally spot the joker. His standing beside a beautiful red 1969 Chevelle with SS396 badges. I stop and he comes running at me, demanding a race right now. I said sure, OK, let's go. My car was a 6.80 1/8 mile(10.80 1/4 mile) street car. However it was just a full steel "Malibu" with a flat hood. Certainly an SS should spank it. Nope. Beat the snot out of him. 7.5 to 8.9. Of course I had to be cheating or had something hidden in the car, etc. No sign of him after that.

More stories to come.
