It did suprise everyone, particularly the three people that got run over, one of which died. Needless to say, the remainder of the event was cancelled.

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.

Tell me about the rabbits George :eek:

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.
