Just saw this and had to share it:banghead:
 
That would not be the first time that's happened, and I'm sure not the last. I remember back when I attended pretty regularly, anytime someone backed up like that, I was always thinkin' hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Prolly why some of the Mopars had that huge irritating reverse lamp indicator LOL
 
Did that with my dad's pushbutton '56 Plymouth while racing a '55 Ford. If the Drive button wasn't pushed in all the way, the old PowerFlite would go into Reverse, so it happens with automatics also.
 
**** happens! I did that back in 1974 ish in a 65 Malibu 331 sb 4 sd. Came off the line 6800 RPM in REVERSE! Snatched the Hurst shifter out of my hand, spit the Muncie trans out, left the 4 ears bolted to the scattershield, twist the driveshaft like a pretzel. Funny thing is, it happened so fast, the car really didn't move backwards and the only one that really knew what happened was me, and now 38 oded years latter, a sellect few of my FABO family.
 
LOL! My buddy Billy must be in the trans am! His first racing experience was in a chevy celebrity of all things. He took off in reverse as well
 
Thnks for sharing,SG.I was the car behind someone like this at Famoso.Waiting for the water box.My engine builde.r,driving a healthy 340 Dart ahead of me.He worked the waterbox hard,shot a bit past staging.He backs up ,stages IN REVERSE.The lights drop,he oozes backwards.On the 1st pass of the day ,no less!(lol!)
 
I had a car that jammed in reverse from time to time and the only way to get it out of reverse was to blip the throttle and bang the clutch a bit. Of course it jammed in gear after backing up to the box at the track. People got a good laugh thinking I was going to do a burnout in reverse.
 
Wahaha! That's good stuff. Oh well we all start somewhere... I wonder if after the pass he just kept driving right out of the parking lot to not have to deal with his laughing buddies waiting for him. Lol
