Well if anybody ever seen me in my roadster, EVERY run was scary, lol
The worst was one weekend at National Trails Raceway when they use to run the Fall Classic in late October. It was qualifying for the Quick 32, and it was misting a little bit, well Clark Rader (yes that’s how long ago this was) told us all either race or go home, he was running a race. Well being young and still brave at that time i was going to race, the car was set up to go fast (9 teens) when i left the line the car started skating from the get go, right pass the tree it got up on 2 wheels and headed for the right guard rail. In the mean time while crossing lanes the racer (yes i was in left lane, lol) in the right lane just got past me as I was coming over. At that time and I know who ever that has crashed or spun out, ect. Knows this, you have so much time it seems like before things happen. I looked over the guard rail and there was both of my parents standing in the hot car lanes (those are the lanes in front of bleachers at trails still today) they was looking at me and at the last second I grabbed the wheel and yanked it hard left and somehow I didn’t touch a thing on the car. Clark called me to the tower and wanted me to park the car but I did prove to him on next run it was still drivable.
That’s just one of my scary moments, lol
Here is a shot from other one:
