Re: Bone head mistakes
If you can't do a burnout without using a rev limiter......take up tennis.

Re: Bone head mistakes
Pulled into the water without my helmet on...two different occasions.
Made a Q run at a divisional with the passenger window open, nobody noticed! |

I was "helping out" and installed a mechanical oil pressure gauge on Don Himes' 69 Road Runner. Apparently, I didn't completely tighten the end of the line that goes to the gauge. It came off and oiled his under dash and carpet pretty good. He never let me live that one down. Hey, at least the zero gauge reading wasn't the motor! I know, tennis, Dave, tennis. |

Re: Bone head mistakes
Left the linkage off one of the AFBs on my Max Wedge, the good thing it was a test and tune run. I was thinking what the F__K! LOL!

Re: Bone head mistakes
Once I was doubled up in S/ST and S/P after a time hit in S/P I took a time hit in S/ST without changing the box . That was the longest second....

Re: Bone head mistakes
Ive seen a new driver step into an existing good car and get so excited about winning a round that when dumping the water he eliminated step one, drain the water. In his haste he pulled the top hose off the radiator and proceeded to dump the boiling hot water directly into his crotch. It was ugly, real ugly after that, hospital visit, no pants at all for a good length of time due to severe burns. I got the "no" out of my mouth but not in time
