Default Re: Scary Moments in Your Racing Career?

Englishtown 1975 mid week test and tune. 67 Vette A/SA , one E-town guard dog. As I got to the traps I saw something brown out of the corner of my eye, it was windy so I thought it was cardboard. When I looked again sitting on the stripe was a big brown dog.......120mph + dog = a big mess. I planted my feet on the floor and went right over him, thank god the car did not roll but what a mess. Rich and Vinnie paid all damage to the car but could never get the dog hair out from under it. The dog got lose the week before and did the same thing during a funny car show but did not get hit, I guess he was practicing. The dog was dying with cancer and they just could not put him down so the dog took control himself.
