I picked up my '72 Demon off a farm in Idaho. Early on I got the chance to run it at the Las Vegas 1/4 mile. After the second easy pass, as I was picking up the timing slip, they told me I couldn't go again until I stopped dumping dirt on the starting line.
Searched the car over for the source of dirt but couldn't find it. As I slapped the trunk lid closed something fell all over the ground at my feet. Mouse droppings! The truck lid was full of mouse turds. Dropping the clutch on those 14" wide slicks was starting to break things loose.
We duct taped the whole inside of the trunk lid up tight and made another pass without trouble. Never told them it wasn't dirt, that my car was actually pooping on their starting line.
