Let's be honest.

From the mid 60s to the early 70s we street raced most of them way more than we took them to the drag strip.

While in Indianapolis (mid 60s) we did go to Raceway park and Muncie on the weekends but we lit'em up during the week every chance we got. I remember lots of racing was on unfinished freeways or a deserted road late at night.

In LA (early 70s) there were many places (Rinaldi Blvd in the San Fernando Valley had an unfinished housing project that over look the boulevard for spectators - so they did not get in the way) hell we raced the cars we drove on the street every day, even after we turned them into race cars.

I certainly did not by a car to run stock back then

I bought it because I thought it was a ..…well a.….I don't know maybe it was just fun.

Might have to do it again - crap zero to 60 in under 6 seconds was fast back then

Not now - now we talk about zero to a 100 under 6 seconds

Just thought I would lighten up this thread a little
