    I had the Sprint out tonight at the local gathering. First decent weekend here since the Roundup. On my way home, sitting at a red light, some guy in a Explorer takes off spinning wheels. Well, I surly cant let him get away with that! So I proceded to put him in his place quite easily. Unfortunately I also blew the doors off the unmarked sheriff sitting behind me. The sheriff was actually pretty decent and just gave me a warning for racing and improper tags. Said next time I do something like that, make sure there are no cops around.

    Man, did you luck out. I am glad he was cool though. Were the tags your Mavaholic ones or are they still on the 77?

    Why does that story sound vaguely familiar to me Dennis? :D Glad to hear he let you off the hook, I'm sure I would not be so lucky!

    Phew!!! That was close!

    I've noticed how people are always trying to egg me on to race when I'm in the Grabber or the Sprint. It's hard to resist the temptation!

    Dennis...

    ...you probably twisted the *%$! out of it so he went after
    you instead of the Explorer!


    How long did it take for him to run you down anyway?
    Crown Vic?

    Not that I would do such a thing, but I was plenty far enough ahead that I could probably have made it home. Less than 5 miles and all back roads with alot of straight sections. I had my Mavaholic tags on as usual which are not real tags, so he wouldnt have been able to get my address.

    See Dennis you should have been at the Ford day at hagerstown.
    That way you wouldn't have been getting in trouble you would have been winning trophy's instead.

    We missed you there! Congrads to Killer Comet he came home in first place in his show class for the second year in a row.

    Way to go Dennis! lol If I would have even revved my engine in this state i wouldve got ticketed for exhibition of speed being very young in a "muscle car". When you think about the cop not being able to find your house,
    How many cars are out there that even resemble your car? I am sure just by word of mouth he could have almost all of your information.

    Way to hold your ground in the mav. thats so great!!!

    Dennis!

    IF you ever try running, you had better hope that the chaser is not net savvy. I ran a google search on 'Mavaholic'. Your name
    comes up on many posts and articles, including pics of your car!
