That was back when they tanked whole bodies, and I pretty sure the Charger was one of them. Also the 2900 pounds was with only a drivers seat, no roll cage, etc.

I have not seen a race since mid 90's on conduit. It's all black top since then and nfg anymore, I don't know anyone using it since the make over. There is the parallel service road thats used now. works well too. just south of conduit and still all concrete, rte.878.
Now that one has no turn around so you meet on down the road in warehouse district. conduit turn around was easy, use rockaway or springfield blvds.

Don't know how it is now. We used to unload and set the care up at the garbage truck garage. By the Airport Diner.

I'm fairly certain Tab Talmadge's '65 A/FX 427 SOHC Mustang he purchased from Dyno Don saw a lot of big money street action. Other cars that may have been raced on the street during the early-mid-'70s: Levi Holmes purchased Bill Blanding's 1969 "MiMi" Camaro, Tab Talmadge purchased Dyno Don's 1965 A/FX 427 SOHC Mustang, James & Will Smallwood purchased two ex-Sox & Martin cars (were they just "shop" cars, built and sold by S&M, I wonder?) which were a 1969 "Notchback" car and a '72 Barracuda, Willie "Cam Rod" (sp?) Campbell purchased Hubert Platt's (Platt & Yates) '70 Maverick, "Fast Earl" Mitchell's '69 Camaro was possibly owned by Wally Booth before he purchased it (the engine was at least Booth-Arons-built).
