Default Re: chicago street racer names and reputations, late 60s

Archer Ave. was a hot spot for street racing too, all the way into the late 1980's. Not sure if they still hang out there in the parking lots, but it used to be pretty crowded.

Duke's Drive In, Flukie's, not even sure if they're still around? I remember back in the early 1990's, Duke's started attracting lots of new Mustangs, then imports, undercar neon, etc. Seems like Duke's was abandoned by traditional street racers and Musclecar owners. The hard core street racers went elsewhere, and up popped suburban cruise nights, sponsored by local towns and/or malls. With sponsorship came the "family entertainment" thing, lawn chairs, lots of baby strollers, kids, etc.
