In about 1966, I was stationed at McClellan AFB in Sacramento, CA. I had a 1959 Plymouth Sport Fury with the 361 ram induction engine. It was a mid to low 14 second car bone stock. I would sometimes like to "pick on" GTO's at the stoplight. One evening in eary fall, I got up next to a "Goat" who did not respect my Mopar. It was sprinkling at the time and the pavement was wet. Well when the light changed,I "dropped the hammer" and there was a lot of wheel spin. I glanced at my rear view mirror and saw red lights flashing. A Sacramento County Sheriff's Deputy had been right behind me!! Lucky for me, he was also a hotrodder and let me go with a warning ( after I cleaned the mud from the windshield of his cruiser)Of course, I continued to hunt forChevs,Goats and Fords to beat. Now I still have the memorys of those fun times.
