I happened to park next to a fellow with a much modified Datsun 2000 based roadster. It had some sort of a v8 engine from a 370Z(?) and appeared to be basically a tube framed silhouette car. this fellow has never failed to be rude to me in the three times I have spoken to him over the years.

Yesterday I arrived pretty early and had my choice of places to park. I chose to park next to an enclosed trailer which had no tow vehicle next to it. I assumed it was just parked there more or less permanently, not thinking of it as a potential participant. Later I was told by one of the local guys that this fellow could not get his car out so I went over there.

His car was out but it was tight so I went over and apologized for parking him in. He did not accept my apology gracefully instead aggressively asking me why I would do such a thing.

So I went away feeling a bit shat upon. I thought about offering him a side bet of $100 if he could beat my raw time....but resisted. Wish I had bet him since I beat his time by a second. ...maybe next time.
