Had a toolbox stolen from the pits at Englishtown once. I never took the toolbox out after that. I think after 10+ years I've gotten over it.

I learned how to keep my footlocker from getting stolen. Put a snake in it in a box, let everyone know youve got a snake in it as a pet, show em, people dont like snakes, especially striped ones that look poisionos.

When word gets out there a snake in your toolbox(even if he really dosent live there you just show people the snake and tell em that) (or footlocker) people will be asking you to lock it

Funny thing I told someone that joking, they said "Hey can you keep a secret ?" Sure I said, the guy was keeping a damm baby snapper in his.....lol.

two incidents, same day. july 4, 1980, eddyville ia. i jumped in the back of the pickup after burnout and smashed a loose can of pennzoil and it leaked all over the starting line. next run, i was driving the pickup following the dragster down and my cousin, in the back flipped out of the truck on the line when i took off too quick and lost him. when i got to the end i asked my little brother, where is rick, he replied, he was in here when we took off. needless to say, eddyville staff was glad to see us leave.
