Humm ... Street Racing?? I'm much too young to have been doing that in the 50's or 60's. even the 70's I wasnt old enough to drive till the late 80's. And I DIDNT race my supra on the not yet opened hwy 3127 just south of D'ville or on hwy 30 north of Gonzales. My dad wouldnt let me get a muscle car cauze he knew what i'd do with it. Probably the same thing he did with his 65 mustang. RACE !!!! Not saying that i did street race the supera, but supposing i did, (wink) it was fast enough to take some bragging rights and SUPRAize a few unsuspecting guys. My best friend had a 79 trans am that was really quick. his "baby" was an old pontiac catalina 2+2 w/ a 421. it was primer grey and was one of the fastest cars around at that time. oh ... and we didnt street race those either .... he,he,he ... if we would have ... it would have been just for bragging rights or to see who was buying the beer for the next party. even so ... things are still different from that short time ago. We never had to worry much about guns or anyone even thinking stupid things like that. not long ago I was talking to my friend and the last time he was out street racing a couple guys got into an argument and out came the guns.... next thing ... bullets were flying. luckily they both sucked at shooting and noone was hit. He hasnt gone back since.... much safer at the track.... after that... the police really cracked down on them after that. before ... it wasnt a big deal ... small town ... and they figured ... we werent bothering anyone... and staying out of REAL trouble.... the road was in the middle of nowhere and led further into the middle of nowhere, so there was no traffic at all... so they would harass us only when they were bored.... and even then, noone ever got ticketed... they would even race aginst us in their cruiser every once in a while... and well ... thats my story of umm ... NOT street racing....
