      What an imagination…
      quote Maso:

      Then Tommy Blake lined up there with his hairy “39”…
      But got caught eating a great big fat “Hoagie”… on the starting line.

      If that line puzzles you it just means this:

      A “Hoagie” ( a rather large sandwich ) is used here symbolically as an object of “distraction”. It’s just a cartoon like image of a driver ( Blake… ) being distracted at the starting line and loosing a race.

      ‘Nuther words…

      If a guy looses a race because of a bad reaction time, one might say… “He got caught eating a big fat hoagie on the starting line”
