what was happening on the track meant

By Lou - 11/05/2003 5:06:41 PM; IP 63.186.209.126

very little to us guys who were on the street. It was fun to watch, but television treated auto racing like bowling, one or two races a year were televised, and the car mags only reported on strips for the most part. Nothing was said about the street or the outlaw strips. like Dover Plains.
The cars that were winning on the track and at the strips were set up just to race, on the other hand the street cars were more real world. Thse cars had to race on Friday night, go out on a date on Saturday, and take you to work on Monday.
With that said I will tell you my Ford record, between 1958 and 1966 I was beat 3 times on the street, twice by Fords once by a Plymouth. My Fords were everything from a 56 Victoria, to a 390 63 Galaxie and several in between including a 63 HiPo Falcon.

This thread, so far...
