At the Saugus Speedway, since closed and made into a swap meet, they used to host a segment -and I cannot remember the name for it - where fans could come out and race their vehicles to try and set the lap record. The prizes were something like a dinner at Luigi's, a subscription for the local news paper and six cans of motor oil....

It was a small 1/3 mile track where the barriers are pieces of steel plate backed with dirt.

One night a guy shows up with a BRAND FRICKING NEW Mustang. I don't think it was two weeks old, if that. I bet the ciggie lighter was still new, the ashtrays clean and the the rear seat still not broken in.

Into the wall it went....and the crowd went wild....I just wanted to know how he explained that to the insurance company!
