Pomona Ca... Strange situation...
Something just came to mind about our experience last year in Pomona.
One morning, we were driving to the track, we stopped at a loal shop to pick up some incidentals...
Suddenly, a mortorcye policeman, who just happened to look a lot like Don Imus, a previously Cleveland radio personality, and now famous for making a comment about "nappy headed whores", in reference to an east coast college womens basketball team, came up to us, and asked for identification.
Before we knew what was happening, we were handcuffed and sitting on a curb. Apparently, the dealer plates on Keith's truck caused him some kind of concern. He insulted us, and accused us of all kinds of criminal acticities, and searched the truck. Well, as a devout Christian, and Keith and his wife being the safe, we really weren't all that concerned. We had done nothing wrong, and have nothing to worry about.
After at least forty five minutes of insults, and stupid questions from the Imus look alike, , and another couple of officers showed up. One of them happened to be a Drag Race fan. And fortunately, he apparently outranked Don Imus, and was a reasonable person. He put at ease immediately, assuring us that it wouldn't be long, and we would be on our way.
A few minutes later, and we were uncuffed, lectured by Imus for not having the tag permanently attached, and we were on our way back to the track at Pomona.
Kind of funny in retrospect, and as far as I can remember, we never spoke about it again.
But Keith did permanently attach the license plate. But next time we get together, I will remind them, Keith and Tonya, and we can laugh about it all over again.
Some of the most interesting and strange things that happen when you travel coast to coast to race, get dropped between the cracks. This just came to mind, and I wanted to share it with you...
Stay tuned for more. God, life is good!
God Bless, and Race Safely!
