Gramas are hotrodders too!
Hi! I was looking thru the web for pics from "my" days and found this forum and a thread about street racing in the 60's and 70's. Big part of my life! Am looking for pictures too. I cruised and raced street at Golden Gardens in Seattle, Colby up in Everett and did the Loop in Renton. My boyfriend/husband and I were part of the Seattle Drag Club and helped the Handlers Assn at Bremerton Raceways. My boys did the Boeing freeway in the 90's in Everett. I lean heavily towards Mopar with Chev running a close second. I don't or didn't always use my common sense when it came to cars like changing out leaf springs in a dirt driveway, in the rain, four months pregnant. But he's now a healthy 31 yr old. Broke my wrist trying to lift a cast iron engine just 1/2 '' HIGHER than a cherry picker would go. The engine won! Go figure. Carry a pucker in my leg where a stud flew off a tire when I was flagging them off. I agree with one of the guys who said the cops AND kids were different back then. My perfume was Eau de Rubber and I wore it proudly! Anyone with pictures from the area and/or time - please let me know!
