Cool old vid !!!!!

But that is nothing compared to Front Street and/or in front of JFK Stadium in Philly back in the 80's. There would be atleast a few hundred cars every Friday and Saturday night !!! Anyone else remember those days? I wish I had some video of all the 'spectators' in the street all looking at the start and when the cars took off, everyone spread out to let them pass. I saw more than one wreck there unfortunately. I really dangerous scene now that I think about it. I still cant believe the cops let that happen so long back then. Old memories !!!

Oh yea. Lived it.. Also racing with my buddy in his 70 orbit orange RA IV judge on Decatur and the meadows in the late 70's. Also Southampton road and state road in the NE too. It all ended when F&amp;F came out

Don't forget Red Lion Road and Roosevelt Blvd! I missed the heyday, my nose was stuck in an accounting book....

Love how most of the cars hesitate and stutter and can't light the tires without some gas poured on them or some guys lifting the car in back! AAAND he stuffed the Chevelle into the ditch!

Today we rag on kids with Ricers. We were no smarter!

Watching that '67 Chevelle being trashed in that ditch was painful.
