Street Racing Articles

Damn, I remember the friday and saturday nights I spent down at JFK, Front street, delaware ave and the meadows back in the early/ mid 80's. Those were some crazy times with tons of 60's and 70's muscle. I remember my camaro using a tank of gas to get down there, another tank to cruise around and "play", and a fill up to get home. Sunoco 94 @ 1.23 a gallon..............

I remember seeing the Roush / Ruggirello Mustang II for sale at the Atlantic City car auction way back when they held it at the old convention center. The Boss '9 was long gone and it had been painted white with blue stripes.
Years later I saw it on a used car lot in Pleasantville, NJ and again at a trucking companies parking lot later on.
I wish I had the money to buy it and return it to it's former glory.

I covered some street racing when I was Car Craft's tech editor around 10 years ago. It was a lot of fun but I wouldn't do it again. When you show up to these spots with an expensive camera, with a huge flash mounted on top, and are shooting pictures of cars launching and doing burnouts, it's a matter of time before you're "asked" to get lost.

I remember seeing you Camaro down there Rich then. Those were fun times. We used to cruise the Levittown parkway and Hatboro too.
