I was out with a friend watching some street racing at one of the airports in the Hartford area last night. They had some really fast cars out there.

There was this Pinto with a bigblock in it that was just unloaded from a flat bed tow truck. They were working on it re jetting the carb. I was standing in front of it while they were working on it. Then they try to start it, but it was in gear. The guy was only half in the car and it took off. It was about 5 feet away from the tow truck. I jumped up onto the hood and kinda rolled off. I landed on my feet as the car smashed into the tow truck. If I wasn't paying atention I would have been crushed.

Just thought I'd share that.
