Post your best racing related memory!

Just a funny (sorta) story. It was 1966 in S W Ga, at the "suitcase" Jr. College. 5-6 of us were having our little nickle/dime poker game after class. We were bench racing, wondering who was faster, my 64 Ford Cumtom 289 or my friends 56 Olds??? I knew my heavy Ford was a dog, but , all just in fun.
We all head out to the edge of town, seldom traveled blacktop and the preferred road for a drag race. We get lined up and then see a car coming in the distance. Looks like about a 50 Chevy, then we see a man and a woman, then we see 2 cane fishing poles sticking out the window, and my bud rolls back behind me. About that time, the car gets closer and we see an older man and older woman, then they stop beside us and we notice the older man is dressed in cackies, has a badge, and looks alot like the "sheriff" in the Dodge commercials! But he WAS the county sheriff!!! He looks pissed and hollers at us " you boys are doing any drag racing are ya!??"
We both take off like ugly on an age.. Yep my buddy was faster!! It was a drag race after all!!
