Re: Interesting or Funny Car Stories
In 1968, while stationed in Colorado Springs, I ran the Corvair in Pure Stock at Continental Divide Raceway.. The first time at the track, I was sitting in the staging lanes, next to a snow fence, waiting to move up. Had the driver door open. At the call to move up, I fired up, put the clutch in and the car rolled backwards click, click, click, bang The door broke a hinge and hit the ground. I crawled out the passenger door, set the door back, crawled back in the passenger door, won the round and eventually the eliminator.
