We got caught at Indy in '63.

Farmer Dismuke walked around our car and noticed it had an aluminum front end.

He put the car in the "B/FX" class.

Dad fussed "B/FX? I've been running B/Stock all year! This car is a B/S record holder!"

Farmer replied "I don't care if you are Santy Claus: yer not running that car in B/S unless you show me 49 more just like it!"

So they parked the car for the day.
