My fellow Speedzillers:

Don't do mapping runs upon the street on which you live.

Cute Policewoman: DO YOU KNOW HOW FAST YOU WERE GOING?!

Me: Er, no..... ...do you?

Cute Policewoman: TOO FAST!!! (looks at plate --'07 expire date, from the opposite coast of the country) Your plates are expired! WAAYY expired!

Me: Um, uh, yeah, I just got this thing back together it's been apart for a long time...

Cute Policewoman: I'll be right back!

Methinks: I really hope I don't get towed! I hate towing companies!!!!

Cute Policewoman: comes back... OK! YOU'RE GONNA GET OFF WITH A STERN WARNING, slow down! If you crash one of those things you're going to get hurt, killed if you crash at 70 or something!!

Methinks: Well it did hurt last time, but I didn't get killed!

Me: Yes, ma'am, thank you.....

So anyhow, it was in a 50 zone and I was topped in 2nd going to 3rd, if I could only remember what those AFR numbers were!!!

Don´t buy any lotterytickets soon mate... You just used up 6 months of luck on that one.

Sort of the same thing happened to one guy in our endurance team.. Got stopped outside the track while doing mapping runs on the street with the racebike (Slicks, not headlight/tailligt, no registration/numberplate) but since the bike still HAS working insurance he got of with a warning and was sent inside the gates to the racetrack again.
(Then the officials DQ´d us, but thats another story)

Amullo, that happened to a friend of mine once. He decided to use the road in front of the racetrack for a few full throttle passes to "check something" (I always thought this is what the racetrack was for, but I digress...), when he got pulled for a whole collection of tickets. The cop let him push the bike back inside the gates of the racetrack, where the Race Director met him, escorted him to his pit and made him load his stuff and leave the premises.

We Larfed!

Nothing beats the scene in Worlds Fastest Indian when Burt was testing on the road.

Damn we racer's are stupid! I got nailed big time one day. I was building Dragster Chassis out of my home shop and I would take them up and down the long street in front of the house to "shake them down". Well one day I did this and there was a cop hidding at the end of the street. He said he had heard me warming the car from the other side of town and wanted to see what it was. Well about $3000.00 and a new friendship with a lawyer cleared that one up. That sucked!!!!!!
