top_shelf_12 Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 About the earliest thing I can remember from CC was the mud drags where the current pits are. Other memorable moments include CCPD chasing someone all over the parking lot and up and down Flato Rd, while then police chief Henry Garrett was being interviewed on the frontstraight for a celebrity race. The cops caught their suspect when suspect missed the train he was trying to hop on by the HEB wearhouse on Agnes lol. I remember Larry Smith and Donny Yoacum getting their cars stuck on the wall, Donny between 1 and 2 and Smith between 3 and 4 and I beleive it was RH Ashley that went through the backstraight wall coming out of two. Lots and lots of memories of that place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
