Our Trucks: So Strong, They Can't Even Hurt Each Other!!!!

[Project1970]

So I went to the track tonight with some other locals who have '67-'72s... (FWIW, I knocked another tenth off! 16.4, no mph change)

One of the guys, who was directly behind me in the staging lanes, was having problems with his truck (threefold: hot start, bad idle, leaking heater core), and the sucker died. So he goes to do the screwdriver/starter trick, and I get in the cab to hold the starter on and give it a little gas...

...and when it cranks, it jumps forward, into my truck.

He's fine, and better yet (lol) BOTH OF OUR TRUCKS ARE FINE!!!! The only damage gained was a dime-sized nick in my tailgate paint - NOT EVEN A DENT ON EITHER ONE!!!! Due to the circumstances, I'm actually strangely happy in a situation where I'd normally be pissed!!! (That, and I was the one who hit my own truck, technically...)

Our trucks...so strong, they can't hurt each other!!!!

(He never got to run. When we did stage, his truck died again and the coolant leak showed up. From what the previous owner says, it should be a 14 second truck...)
