Kit Carson Finds a Friend
Harry "Kit" Carson has just completed his wild '73 Pro Stock Camaro and was inducted into the Gold Class at Indy Super Chevy. He lives in Pennsylvania, so missing the Maple Grove Show a week after Indy was not in the cards. Of course, he hadnt counted on some overly zealous local constables, but then again, who does? On his wat to the show, Harry was towinga single-car trailer with the Camaro inside when a Police office stopped him for allegedly not wearing his seatbelt. He then proceeded to do a thorough inspection of the entire rig, and determined that a state sticker on the hitch of othe trailer did not indicate that the trailer could haul the load of Kit's car. Never mind that no state official had ever weighed the rig, or that the sticker was based on "stated" capacity rather than the manufacturer's rating, nope, off to trailer jail it went, Camaro and all. Fortunately, kit didnt follow suit, but he had to control himself a BUNCH. In any case, a heavy fine was involved , and the trailer couldn't be moved until the DMV issued the correct weight sticker, which wasn't going to happen until the Monday after the show.
Kit drove to Maple Grove Park where he told the tale of woe. Fortunately, the crew hauling Steve Sandlin's "Inciner8tor" 57 Chevy show car from Las Vegas, overheard and offered to help. they hooked up a trailer, drove with Kit, stood by while he begged and pleaded to at least get the Camaro out of his impounded trailer, waited until a reasonable official could be found and then tranported Kit's car back to the showground. Had that not occured, Carson's car would not have been present in the Gold Class, a photoshoot for Camaro Performers would not have taken place, and the car would not have taken the American Colorscans Graphics Award and the Pro Street Gold Class Award. Of course, Sandlin's '67 took a well-deserved Gold Class Pro Engineered Award and delighted the fans who couldn't get enough of the red convertible with the eight turbochargers. Thanks to Steve and his crew who came to the rescue
