Re: Bone head mistakes
One of the best bone head mistakes for me was: I runner-upped in a BIG Super Stock race at a track in KY. Winner paid $2000. RU paid $400. It was an IHRA race. The guy who won could just barely run the index. It was a LONG weekend and me and my partner were tired and wanna to get on the road and home. They (IHRA) was going to check the winner but just the carb. My partner said "hell, ain't no way he can be wrong. He's not running fast enough to be wrong". We load up, hit the road and 3 miles down the road I get a call on the CB to come back to track. HE WAS WRONG. I turned around and head back. Drive straight over to tear down and talk to the official. He said "Sorry, you left the track, we're not going to check you." Well, that cost me $1600
