Re: buy a race track
One of the other occasional foibles of the drag strip management scene is when your customers try to kill you.
(sorry for the crappy picture of a picture)
That's me crapping my pants up in front of the car.
I was working as the race director on this day and we were having a problem with one of the timing lights at the 1/8th mile. Like I've done a million times before, I rode down on the scooter with a new infra-red to swap out, normally a 2 minute job.
I always peek over the wall to see what's coming down the track as I crouch next to it. I saw this Maverick coming up and I knew it was always good for a big wheelie. I heard it launch and then it started sounding weird with the driver whomping the throttle. I looked up and saw what you are seeing here!
It didn't end all that well for the car.
