Police Drama at Gators...wtf

RJ Sledge · 03-11-2011, 03:20 PM

Just heard the police were questioning the driver of a D/SA Mustang about owership and have been checking vehicle ID #'s on race car and tow vehicle. Believe this is the same car that the late Rob Torren and his Son raced a couple of years ago. I believe there was a question about ownership a week or so ago? Must be 50 or 60 "spectators" checking things out.

Only in NHRA!!

I witnessed an investigation / confiscation at the old ahra world finals in spokane, wash. one year (i think it '79 or '80)... lots of cussing, swearing and bloody noses... It was not a good sight!!

all the more reason to get a legitimate title with that race car purchase and not rely on a bill of sale.

I think new car builders generally supply some sort of mso documents with their builds if there is no vin. / registration, Correct?

They took the race car, probably his Toyota Driver also and are now looking hard at his M/H and trailer. Hunt is his last name anybody know him?

It appears to be.
At Immokalee, FL (IHRA) he beat Scotty Richardson in Bertozzi's car in the day one Stock final. I got the impression that he was a hired driver but don't recall who he was hired by.

Rig just left, so..............
FBI, police, entertainment tonight, MSNBC all have came and gone

Jim Kaekel · 03-11-2011, 05:25 PM

Was the rig confiscated as well or did the owner just leave the track?

Nitro Joe Jackson · 03-11-2011, 05:32 PM

we seen the rig leave, was not watching who was driving, police car was sitting back in the spot the rig was parked, guess we watch the news at 11

Hell i was in hiding thought Lorie was having papers severed to me, lol.

A week or two ago I saw an ad stating that the ownership of a certain race car was in question. The pic was of a 67 or 8 Mustang, appeared to be a notchback. I believe it was black and white. The ad seemed vague and I dismissed it. I searched racingjunk.com and some others, but cannot find it again.

Does that sound like the car?

I am pitted very close to him, what a day! It is the white with black roof D/SA Mustang, the real owner got it back. He was here with his lawyer and alot of police. The police also took his daily driver some rare Nissan, right hand drive. He (Hunt) was asked to leave, I saw him driving the motorhome trailer attached of the grounds, bet he didn't get far before they stopped him.
