Re: Anyone have any stories of street racing back in the 50's & 60's?
I Grew Up in the 60's Racing on the Berlin Turnpike here in Ct. I drive a 55 Chevy Conv. with a 327 with daul quads. Just about all my buddies drove Chevys. What a time we had on Sat. night by Mcdonalds. Thats when Isky had the 5 cyle cam. My brother in law drove a 55 with a 370 Pontiac. There was I guy named paul that had a 418 pontiac with daul quads and a 5 cycle cam in a 32 ford streetrod. Man was that quick. I'm a little smarter now I don't street any more. (Well once in awhile) We had Ct. Dragway back then, it has since been turned into a consumer test track. What a bummer. I can remember sunday afternoons watching Big daddy don Garlits, Tasca ford and all Mopar Hemi's run.Originally posted by Brent Mills
I've always been intrigued by days when a group would gather on some street and drag race. Yeah sure, the kids still do it with their little hondas and stuff today, but it seems like there was a whole lot more character to it back then. Unfortunately I'm not old enough to have witnessed the fun, so can anyone share some storries?
Thanks!
