Things that happen just before you leave for a run

Took the 64' Valiant out one time and invited my nephew and his Ol' lady, well them two were arguing about some **** all the way to the track and driving me nuts. Was so sick of listening to their crap that when I got to the track I jumped outta the truck got the car off the trailer warmed the motor and took my usual ride down to the end of pit row to do some test launches. Problem was bout half way down I see my fiberglass HOOD take off and its doing backflips out the rear window and BAM sure enough landed right on a corner. Yes, forgot to replace the clips after removing the carb cover and had NEVER done that before. Hood still carries that battle scar now with some red ducttape and them two chuckleheads now provide their own transportation. HaHaHa!!!
