Default Re: NY Street Racing - Back in the Day

<font color="blue">I used to street race in the late 70's - mid 80's. My main hangout was the "Wedge Inn" on the border of Mt. Vernon &amp; Da Bron X.

Here are some of the cars we used to drive down from Westchester every weekend.

Sorry for the quality. I couldn't get them out of the album.



My 2nd V8 Vega - 331, tunnel ram, T10, 4:88 12 bolt / it was a lot of fun &amp; my daily driver.


My 67 Camaro, same motor, Super T10, 5:13 Olds rear.
Neighbors split bumper camaro, 355, T350, 4.11 10 bolt.
My 1st Pro-Street Vega, 331, Liberty/Hemi crashbox, 5.86 Dana / very fast but still my daily driver.


My 70 RoadRunner, 383, 4 speed, 3.90 8-3/4 / I traded my 67 GTO for it. (young &amp; dumb)
Blue Chevelle was my 'winter' car / took the motor out of the Vega, T350 4500stall, 4.10 GTO 10 bolt.
Jon's 70 Charger 440, 6pack, 4 speed, 4.10 Dana.
Another Mike - 69 Mustang Boss 351, FMX, 3.00 9" / a surprisingly fast car for what it was.
Vinny's 66 SS396 Chevelle, 427, 6.71, Nash 4+1, 3.23 12 bolt.


Billy's 69 Camaro, 355, M21, 4.10 12bolt.
Walt's 27 Ford, built by Possies.
PeeWee's Nova, Blown 355, M22, 4.10 12 bolt.
Mike Ragano's 67 Nova, ???, It was a street racer before he went pro.
Dyno Dan's 67 Camaro, secret very Big Block Shafiroff motor, Street raced it &amp; drove it occasionally.

Great memories. I didn't take a lot of pics back then(wish I had), more interesed in cruisin' &amp; racin'.
