In my 'old age' I've settled down alot and instead I hit up the drags alot. Anyway back in '63 when I had a really nice '59 Ply sport Fury, 318 power pak poly, I was a student at Long Beach State college in CA.. The traffic was horrible everyday coming home and I discovered a short cut but it had a drawback. If I missed the light on Beach Blvd by the Hiway 39 drive-in I had to wait for it to turn as there were 3 lanes of traffic and no way to turn into it.

I approached the light one afternoon and it turned red right as I got there so I hit 1 on the PB's and went smoking the tires around the corner heading south on Beach Blvd.. I looked to my right and saw a police car with two officers holding ice cream cones. They threw them in the air and headed to their car. I said the appropriate 'OH S***" and blew down the street until I hit some side streets and got home asap and in the garage. I avoided that corner again for 3 months! Shame on me.
