Default Re: Top Day 2 Musclecars?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Pat_Dilling</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I was cruisin' the streets of Omaha in my Biscayne in 71-72 and there were some pretty fast cars. Several that I remember were a 69 (might have been a 68) Mustang 428 CobraJet, headers, deep gears, traction bars and pretty fat tires. Another was a 70 Z-28, 4 speed, headers, Lakewood bars, 5.13-1 gears and Drag 500 cheater slicks. He used to stalk big block cars. There was a 69 Chevelle, that looking back now I realize might have been a COPO car because it was definitely an L72. He also had headers and good tires for the day. There was also an L78 4 speed Nova real deep gear car that was jacked way up in the back for big tires, but he still had traction problems. There were some faster cars that were past Day 2, but these were the ones I remember the young workin' guys had. </div></div>

I was born in '68, so I'm a bit too young to have seen street races between true Day 2 cars. Having said that, sounds like a fun scene in Omaha, albeit with a few too many Chevy's [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] Thanks for the input.
