Remember Smokey Yunick?

What's your favorite Smokey story?

Here's mine Smokey was at a race, and the organizers were accusing him of having a spare gas tank hidden somewhere in the car.

Thing is, the mechanics went all over the car-- even removed the existing gas tank-- but could find no backup tank!!!

Smokie insisted that the car had no spare tank, and met all of the regulations.

The judges disagreed, and voted to not allow the car for unspecified reasons.

Smokie was so mad, he threw the disconnected gas tank in the back seat.

And drove away . . .

(true story)
