You describe ME back then to a "t."
Except my t-shirt daze were in the mid-late-1970s.

at a diner in JFK one SAT.night , I recall Carmen Rotunda was there with one of Brooklyn "Heavys" car,(I think a ex-S&M Cuda).I never saw that much ca$h handled ever..even at my bank.. Lyle won. Re-match ended when 5-0 showed up w/ pistols drawn.
Funny part looking back.now...how 140 + mph tin cans handled a 70's NY street w/o much drama and how a large , quite unsavory and disparite race and age group assembled ..yet,seemed to engage and bet big ,and I mean BIG $$, w/o nary an issue.
Not so today..ever.

I've witnessed 'street-type' events like that back in the early-mid-1980s in my neck of the woods, though certainly with not as much cash changing hands and with much slower, truly streetable cars doing the battling. The common denominator that kept such a "diverse", "unsavory" and (potentially) volatile crowd in check were the cars.
