My first points meet was at Memphis in '95ish. My car was very stock. Stock camshaft, valve covers had never been off, etc. Would just barely run the K/S index. I was running pump gas and wasn't sure if it would pass fuel check. But the bigger problem was that Red Anderson was running fuel check and he scared the crap out of me. So I man up and go down there with my fuel jug, picture the one you use to fill your lawn mower, and ask Red if he will check my fuel. He looks at me like I was completely clueless (he wasn't wrong) and tells me he's too busy and to come back later. So I do, and the 2nd time he tells me to leave my fuel can and come back later, he wasn't happy. I come back later and my fuel can is right where I left it and he growls at me "It's fine" or something similar and I get my fuel can and get out of there as quickly as possible. I think he could smell the fear on me.
