As long as we are telling stories (and good ones at that), here is one a
friend of my mine told me and I believe him. Many years ago he headed to SoCal
for a race at Willow Springs. Back then the paddock was not paved, just high
desert gravel. Sunday morning he and his friends got to the track later than
they normally do and his warm up was just about to start. He jumped into his
car and went straight out on the track. Just before T3 he realized he was not
alone. A rattlesnake slithered up his leg and stared him in the eye. "Please
let me out, I don't like all this noise and vibration." Needless to say, the
racer pulled off and made a hasty exit-without getting bit. Dick Ryan
