Stupid Pit Tricks

[Dion Hildebrandt]

I got time for one more, way back in the day we had a trailer to tow the family race car. it was a mobile home axle with a fabricated deck that was low and went up over the axle,not high tech by todays standards but then you either drove your car or flat towed it . Now the ramps were way too short ,about 2 feet long if i had to guess. The ole boy is backing the car off, and gets the chevy II headers hooked on the trailer, now the pits at Saskatoon were gravel and actually still are, the slicks spun a little as he tried to go back up. The spin was enough to dig a hole and make the situation worse the headers now are bent, I think dear old dad spent all day saturday and most of sunday trying to get the headers off the car thats how bad it was stuck. Instead of fixing the car after we drove the 8 1/2 hours home dad spent the next week fabbing 5 foot ramps for the trailer. Dad still talks about that one.
