Yep, that was quite a trip that year. Danny towed Kirk's car and trailer behind our enclosed car hauler, and before they hit the left turn off 101 to head to watsonville the brakes went out on the hauler, downshifting and emergency braking it, the trailer started wipping behind, and taking out the pickets along the freeway. I remember Kirk saying he looked out the side window, and saw his trailer, almost beside him...I have got say, that I'm sure everyone in that truck was puckering.
That was also the all time great fireball show...The official said that all us SMS car were way to loud, and we had to find someway to quiet them down or we couldn't run. They said they didn't care how we did it, just get them quieted down. So we went to K-Mart and bought every bag of steel wool we could find, and the guys stuffed them in the exaust pipes, with a little bit of alluminum stapping to keep it in. Things were great, til the green flag dropped, and all you could see were fireballs shooting out all our exausts, and the officials running around trying to stomp them , and the fires out. Oh well at least we all tried, and they did say, do anything....Thank goid they didn't black flag all of the SMS boys, cause it was a good show, and we ended up winning it.
We sure had alot of funny road trips didn't we Capt.
How about the portable bar that traveled with us ( one of our sponsors ) and was serving drinks on the freeway, while we were driving, passing drinks out the window to everyone..If we did that today, we'd all be in jail for sure....come to think about it, that kind of sounds like something Cardoza would be doing....
Our car hauler had a bed in it, which is were Billy slept during those trips. you might ask him his opinion of those trips, and where he had to sleep going home
