At US 131 Dragway, in the spring several years ago. Before regular racing started they had gamblers races and the winner of the box class ran the winner of the no box class for all the cash. This night it happened to be 650.00 cash. I won the box class with my red 10.50 et Cutlass and ran an 18 second old pickup for the loot. Once I left the line I thought there was no way I would catch someone half way down the track.....the good news is he cut a terrible light and I passed him and slowed down and took the win light. Now for the bad news, MY WIFE CAME ALONG THAT NIGHT and pocketed the 650 cash....really.

I wear the pants in my family, except my wife tells me which ones to wear....
