Just remembered this....
I took my mom's car to the drag strip back when I was younger. It was my first time going so I was a little nervous. The first run I had was against a GTO, I lost by about 1/2 car length. (Driving an 03 Mach 1, auto). Next race I was really eager to win, I think I was racing an older camaro. I figured I had a pretty good chance at winning. I pulled up to the lights but overshot it a little bit, so I had to reverse to get back into the correct position. Lights go orange, then green and I nail the throttle. Unfortunately I had left it in reverse...imagine my suprise! After I stopped the car and go it into drive I glanced out the window to see all the people laughing at me. My pride got knocked down a couple of notches so in response I floored it out of there and started going sideways. I managed to regain control before I would have slammed into the concrete wall.
Not so much as dumb but definately embarrasing for me :lol:
