Default Most embarrassing moment at the track?

Just to have a little fun...what is the moment you wish ya could forget from a visit at the track?

I'm secure enough to start. This just happened this past weekend. I was ready to do my burnout and there was something on the track, so I had to shut my car off until they got it cleaned up.

I restarted the car, idled for about 20 seconds, then died. I tried a few more times and it wouldn't start, so I rolled it out of the water box. I popped the hood and started looking around. I checked the carb and the primaries weren't squirting.

I started trying to trouble shoot and all of a sudden, the lightbulb lit up. D'UH......I forgot to turn on my fuel pump....LOL

Backed into a Super Comp TransAm after burnout.
You cant exactly see to the rear in a Dragster.

Backed a 10" Tire 8 second Street Car (69 Nova with a 434" SBC and N2O) off the trailer with one ramp.
We both thought the other one got the passenger side ramp.
