* Wrestling/MickFoley tells a story of early in his career when he got busted open on a botched guardrail spot. The state in which they were performing had a rule that the local commission would cover medical care for a wrestler for any injury inside the ring (but not for any that happened outside the ring). When Mick got backstage, the doctor smugly noted it was a shame Mick’s injury happened outside the ring and therefore wasn’t covered. Harley (who had participated in a ringside role in the match) noted “It was, uh, a headbutt. And it happened inside the ring.” The doctor called out Harley on the BlatantLies, noting it was pretty obviously from the guardrail spot. Harley then more sternly reiterated “I SAID. IT WAS A HEADBUTT. AND IT HAPPENED. INSIDE THE RING.” The doctor without missing a beat then turned to Mick and said “We’ll get you taken care of, Mick, don’t worry about it.” Mick then notes the doctor “had the fear of Harley put into him.”

* The Hell's Angels incident. As the story goes, while wrestling one night in Oregon, Race was heckled relentlessly by a mob of Hell's Angels bikers who were convinced they could take him. When they confronted him after the show looking for a fight, Race picked the biggest biker, broke his nose with a full force headbutt and proceeded to turn his lights off with a sleeper hold. The other bikers wisely decided they wanted no part of him anymore.

* His EIGHT reigns as [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/nwa/world/nwa-h.html NWA World Heavyweight Champion]] puts him only behind Wrestling/RicFlair (10) for most reigns, and ahead of both '''[[Wrestling/LouThesz LOU THESZ]]''' and Wrestling/JeffJarrett (6 each.)
* According to a story by Wrestling/KevinNash, Harley Race was the driver for Nash and a couple other guys in the car. Race, naturally, is going the wrong way down a one way street at ''ninety miles an hour.'' When the cop pulled them over, Race immediately barked out "I'm Harley Race! I need to get to [insert the name of the city they were going to.]" The flustered cop gave him the info, and Race took off another two blocks down the wrong way before turning. Nash later mused that the cop [[RefugeInAudacity must've figured that Harley Race was someone important, because "only someone who was SOMEONE would pull a stunt like that."]]
