Lots of strange and fun things happened during those racing years. One night I hit the front wall in a heat race. It took out upper and lower A arms and the front shock. One of my competitors offered a set of A arms and stopped and bought a shock on the way to get it. We got it put back together as our class was going out on the track. I got in the car hit the switch and nothing they check the trunk and the battery hold down had come loose and a cable was off. By the time they got it fixed and I got on the track I was 5 laps down. I figured I would stay in the back out of the way and at least check out the car. Got going and the car had never handled that good before. So I waded through whole field and came up on the Nissan and I know He is leading the race. The whole time I am watching the flag man for any signals didn't see any so I set him up and went right around him. I'm thinking well at least I got one lap back. I didn't go another whole lap and all of a sudden the car goes dead. I roll into the pits my crew finds the battery cable had come off as they bolted the battery down but did not tighten the cable. Track Steward comes by and says you made your point you don't need to go back out. There was only a few laps left anyway. Lots of people came by and said you showed them who had the fastest car. Only me and My crew knew the truth.
