Sad thing is we rolled the car outside to keep sparks off the wood walls.

That is just what Bro. Dave said. You thought it out "almost".

So today I had to to go on line and order a 4 album set of Dave's best performances. Kinda of brings back my wasted youthful days.

" Them's that are for it are against it, and them's that are against it are for it" Brother Dave himself. Go figure

i had just finished drilling out what i thought was an aluminum midget motor plate.
put the plate aside, picked up the welder and started the next project, on the same workbench.
well ya'll.....little did i know it was actually a mag plate and there were mag slivers on the bench which proceeded to light up from the welder sparks.
i had my welding helmet on and was watching what i was welding and caught a flash out of the corner of my eye......flipped the helmet up and ba-da-bing....a whole buttload of little mag fires going on.....although it looked pretty, i decided the best thing would to get the extinguisher and put it out......

I'll admit a stupid move for myself: was at LPS one night, my brother had his bomber there, he said "I can't draw because I'm wanted and the police here know me" (my bro and I are way different) anyway I said I will drive it. He then says "I don't have a fire suit" which I shoulda guessed! Here is the dumb move on my part, I said "never seen a bomber catch fire" and I jumped in it with my Snap-On jacket. Needless to say that car engulfed in flames that night. I luckily got out b4 any injury but learned my lesson! What a guy will do to race!!! Lol
