Power Tour 2008
#243
Did anyone happen to get a picture of me pulled over in Richland Center, WI or know someone that did get a picture of it? I saw a few people snapping shots when I was waiting for my ticket.

There was a TON of people getting tickets in Topeka. I know the hotel strip that most of the PT guys were at, there were close to 6 or 7 cops just sitting, and waiting. Mostly because we were having stoplight fun with the PT cars, and whatever else was out. I don't think Topeka PD appreciated the smoked up street either... it got near impossible to see at one point.

lol, not quite John Force style but I did do a burnout. If I had known that I would've gotten a ticket I would've done a better one.

A coupe of years ago on the 06 Tour we were in Perry, Georgia..a small town with the Georgia State Fair grounds so there lots of motels... that night there were abour 3000 hot rods hangin out on the streets of Perry ... I mean there were kool cars everywhere it was like a movie scene...a guy pulls out of the gas station and does a genuine John Force for about a half a block and the blue lites pull him over and pretty much told him not to make them look bad and let him go...he was a luckly dude..cause on a scale of 1 to 10 his was about a 11.5 ... like I said the cops are usually pretty kool unless you make them look bad in front of the public...sorry for your misfortune..ya ought save the citation and have it framed as a 2008 power tour momento..

I'll probably end up framing it. I had it sitting on my dash in Madison. My violation was "Display of Power". I was polite and everything to the cop. I think they were just collecting revenue for the city. I only did it because I was giving into peer pressure. There was a crowd of people on the side of the street encouraging people to do burnouts and I noticed that there were already two or three sets of black marks so I just briefly lit them up and rode it out. The never got sideways or exceded the speed limit. Oh well. Point is I did it so I get to pay for my mistakes.

You're not the only one who got a ticket for 'Display of Power in Richland Center, a friend of ours in a red 35th SS got one too. He talked about it when he was interviewed, its on the Hot Rod website under 2008 Power Tour and the second video down under Best Memories from This Year's Power Tour. http://www.hotrod.com/2008powertour/index.html
I'm pretty sure he was busy all day long.
