Test N' Tune.....and the Law

[69GS400s]

this one just got dislodged from my brain answering a post, so i thought i'd let Y'all enjoy.......
-------------------------------------------------------------
I was practicing my launches in a parking lot (concrete) down at the (NY state) beach Jones Beach for those of you Familiar....- It was late fall in the afternoon so no one was there. I was going to the track the next day so i wanted to practice my launches Im only going 2/3rds through 1st gear and getting off.....braking, turning around and repeating. All for the sake of trying to get my 60' times down.......

A state tropper pulls in, just as Im launching for another try and i get out early and back it down and park.....knowing Im in a bit of hot water :rolleyes: :dou:

He pulls over, gets out, and asks for my papers. I hand them to him, he gives them a quick glance and hands them back and asks "What are you Doing ???"

I decide honesty may be the best policy, and tell him Im practicing my launches because Im going to the track and racing tomorrow. He steps back, gives the car the once over, and i add "I NEVER street race and this seemd like the safest place for me to do some harmless testing. He looks at the car some more and says..... "You RACE this nice car ???" "Only once a year at the Buick event at the track in NJ"

Puzzled, he looks the car over again, and then sez

" I wasn't here. If another Officer comes along you're on your own...." !!! !!! :JD:

I sheepishly asked, "Does that mean i can continue ???"

he responded, "Continue What ?? I wasn't here, so I dont know what you are doing....."

THANK YOU !!!! OCCIFER !!!

I sat there for a while after he left not sure if i should be more amazed at him not finding a reason to ticket me......or not making me get lost !!!

Finally....i said to meself, WTF !! :moonu:

I made about 3 or 4 more launches but was kinda shaken out of the fun, so i left

Pretty Cool! I doubt I could have that kind of luck.

I actually had a Texas State Trooper pull me over just to look at my car once. I was ddriving an Indy Pace car vette. I was driving the speed limit and he comes flying up behind me. I pull over and he says "you're driving a little fast aren't you?"
I said "A little fast is right, I'm driving the same speed as everyone else"
Well come to find out this guy is a 'vetter owner and he had never seen one of the cars, and he just wanted to get a closer look at it. After he was done looking, he says "Slow this thing down"
Whatever dude..................

Sorry, this is not a Buick story, but it is related. When I was 18, I had just finished installing a fresh 383 Magnum into my `70 Challenger R/T. I couldn`t wait to take it out even though it was running open headers, no exhaust. I drove around for a little while and came upon a good straight road. I stopped and blasted through all 4 gears. As I`m turning around, I see this cop sitting across the street, his arm out the window waving me over. I`m thinking "Holy traffic ticket BatMan, I`m in trouble now!!!!"
I kill the engine and coast up beside him (like he didn`t hear the open headers before):laugh: He looks the car over and asked about the engine. He says "It sure sounds good, I think you better take it back home before you get into trouble". Yes, officer!!!!!
