Growing up in a small town of 500 people most of us learned early in our Hot Rodding career that it was better to raise a ruckus in someone else's town, but behave in your own!!!!! When I was 16 I was banned for life from a small town just across the Minnesota state line----twice!!!!!
I once left town (not my own, my girlfriend's) in a big hurry one night. Then a few days later I went back (girlfriend's town you know). The cop pulled me over, I thought hey I'm not speedin' or nothin' what's he doin'? He invited me back to his car where he read me the riot act about my hasty exit a few nights before. He told me how long the black marks were, ( I was actually impressed) and told me how may complaints he received. I can't believe to this day there were that many. Heck they go flyin' by here all the time & I've yet to register one complaint. Maybe cuz' that sound brings back such fond memories.
