I am amazed you haven't mentioned the Crivelli Grudge Race ,, ,Run what you brung In Disguise Car show/cruise at the Chevrolet Dealership .......
One year, 1993... I worked the event internally in Chevy Racing Garb as Dale Earnhardt was signing autographs..... thanks to Gigi's Chevy Service Racing influence.
I'm sure you were there that Day into the Night.....
So many races were run down the road......

Yes, sir. 1993 was the last summer I worked there as a lot attendant, as it was my last year in college. I grew up just one mile up the hill, and that is where my Dad and I put together my '65 Nova, his '70 Convertible, a '63 Impala SS, etc. You might recall the brown '70 Nova (fake) SS I drove daily.
In the same time period, South Park was still a decent spot to cruise. There was street racing in Crafton off of Route 60 by the Thornburg bridge every Sunday night, and on Saturday's some of us used to go up to New Stanton by the Sony plant for street racing. I'd be surprised if any of that stuff is still happening today.
Someone needs to find and post some pictures of Boburka's old drag cars from the late 1960s / early 1970s. As I recall, he ran a '69 Z.
