There were also assortments of Camaros and Chevelles-L88, 396-375 HP, and 440 Chargers. A lot of fast cars but there were no timing lights. Street racing on deserted old country roads. Not exactly safe and recommended. But we were teenagers back then with nothing else to do.
At least from what I remember.  |
We had a couple of 70 SCJ Mach 1's here that were pretty bad and one SS396 Nova....but day in day out,from stop light to stop light, a little 65 Mustang coupe with a "warmed" over 289 and some 4.10 rear gears and cheater slicks kicked butt up to about 75 mph..the guy could launch it when most other cars were just making tire smoke.........
