[b] Mike - Great shots of some wild cars!!
I spent a lot of time in the Mt. Vernon / Bronx area myself. Working on Tiffany St. in Hunts Point we would hit the Wedge for lunch from time to time. Friday nights we used to hang at Faiella's Pine Tree on the Post Rd. before the action started.
We may have run each other 20 or so years ago!! I remember that enflamed Chevelle, but never saw it race.
You must know John from Westchester Automotive on Fulton Ave or Charlie &amp; Freddie Bauer, their shop was on 3rd Ave right at the border. I used to run into Mike Ragusa there all the time. They did the cage &amp; tin work on my Camaro and a bunch on some other cars for me. They were the best!
As big as Ragusa was his Nova was one of the fastest cars around at the time!
