BTW, I heard next Monday's Street Outlaws is the Chicago episode, so if any of you guys are friends with Boost12 and some of the local guys they'll be on there.

Clearing was what we had to go through to get to a place called Ford city (a mall that was very popular and had an underground area that was used back in the day for tanks assembly or something I think), Ford city was a bit south on Cicero. You did not speed at all in clearing, especially 65th street. Clearing was really really close to all this stuff on Archer as well as Harlem (Dukes). Lots of factories in Clearing. Near all the train tracks. My dad made it very clear, do not speed one mile over the limit on 65th. Clearing cops were bad. I dont think it was zoned as Chicago, could be wrong. Just speed trap city.

Back the Duke's Chevelle guy, its cool he made something out of his street racing. It shows anything in moderation, can go fine without over regulation. Great ending to a great story on that. I loved that chevelle had the larger tires in front which matched what I have said here on this yenko forum that I never remember so many cars with skinny front tires like I see now. How else can you really outrun the cops with those skinny tires making hard turns, I was in more than a few car rides where we had to ditch the cops. I dont think many get that when they do these day2 cars. Yes the skinny tires look better.

Did Dukes ever reopen at a new location anywhere after closing 08/19?
Google shows Dukes Hot Dog stand on Central also Grand Dukes Lithuanian Restaurant Downers Grove?
Wonder where the signs etc ended up?
