HOW many guys remember the rituals that some people would go-through to give-it-a-shot ?

They would take 5 MINUTES or more ...with their tire-prep, changing the timing and burn-outs ....etc. Guys would plug-up traffic on 96, 696 or 275 ...even as late as 3 am in the morning

And THEN - I remember a race where a guy was racing a dude from Toledo in a nicely prepped Mustang that was on-the-hose with worn-out DOT cheater tires. He hit-the-bottle WAY too early and BOUNCED OFF 6 different cars that were watching the race.

He JUST MISSED mine !
