Pretty funny! $900 back then must have been a lot of tickets. I got 2 tickets in one day back in the 60's. Once towing my 63 Max car to the track and that evening driving it to the local hot spot in the Chicago area ("Skips"). Ended up with 3 tickets that year and lost my license for 3 months. The elavated train and two buses to get to work in the middle of winter was my "cure". I was good for a loooong time after that. .


Fastest 300

All those guys have some good stories. I was jus able to visualize Force in that situation.

What's funny about Nicky's story is that I used to work with "Joe from Oklahoma" on Jim Head's car in '92 and I've known him and Laurie Frazier the travel agent since '91...I've got a few good "Joe" stories too that aren't clean enough to post on here!!! LOL...
