Your Most Embarrasing Street Moment.

Ron Ortiz · 06-11-2010, 03:40 PM

I had just gotten a 68 and a half Road Runner and was taught how to really shift a four speed after I had gotten 3 speeding tickets in the first month that I owned the car. Went to the dragstrip and won the race my very first time out. It was the East Coast Winternationals at Miami Hollywood Speedway. Now I was hooked. On the way home with this five foot trophy that I had won, I came to a red light and this car lines up against me reving it up a little. Of course my head is three times it's normal size with my recent "win". So I cut it loose on green, get out on him, pull away and then he makes a right turn. About two seconds later there is red lights coming up on me. Get pulled over and am totally embarrased that I was street racing with this trophy in the front seat. Never street raced again and have been a proponent of racing on the track ever since.
