That must have been difficult giving out tickets for the very thing you did in your younger years but your job was to uphold the law so you were doing your job.

It wasn't fun & yes, that topic came up quite a bit. The thing was, (at least) I didn't lie to the cops when I got stopped & as far as I could "see" we never did it around places where people could get hurt.
This past Sat. a local group did a "Cruise on Central" night with the City's approval & with all the thousands (literally!) of spectators & hundreds of cars, I think something like only a dozen tickets were issued.
I can't recall ever seeing anything like that in the 60s, although most every night was a car show, if you knew where to look. it was being "connected" to the really fast guys that got exciting & alot of guys were fast (for the time) back then.....
