Dumbest newbie thing,you did at the drag strip.....

In my 8.0 1/8 mile Truck, I always put my front tires in the bed against the tail gate
strapped down against it and put my pie cutters on and head to the line of cars waiting to run an et run for classifying at George Rays, well there was a long line and a hold up..so I get out and drop the tail gate waiting to move forward BS with other drivers, as the line moved forward I shut the tail gate slow rolled threw the water box and heated the tires up :bball:
Backed up and hit the brakes and my tail gate popped open and one of my tires feel out and rolled into a person car :-# (no damage) I must have not shut the tail gate good :-#
Very embarrassing for me for sure, but it put a long line of laughs I could see from in my truck, some one shut my tail gate and I still made an 8.20 pass.... If you don't make mistakes you are not doing anything is the way I looked at it... :thumblef: I will never forget that day..
