Well.. that wasn’t the ride I was expecting.

I was at Quaker City dragway back in the 80's with my AAR Cuda and the tech guy said I had to put ducktape over a hole on my firewall, no big deal right, so he told me to back into the grass while another car went on the scale. The tech guy guides me back in between to trucks on the grass and BAM I hit something, I pull up a bit and get out to see what I hit and it was a 6" well casing and it went just under my bumper and smashed the valance panel and the gas tank, then when I pulled forward it just hooked my bumper and pulled it out about 2" in the middle, then the tech guy that caused the problem looked at it and said due to the damage on the gas tank I couldn't race.
what a jerk hahaha i hope he atleast apologized for guiding you back! assuming you didnt sock him right in the face first haha
