The only shop I REMEMBER IN THAT AREA WAS ONE BLOCK WEST OF MANHEIM ON GRAND AND YOU MADE A RIGHT IT WAS RIGHT THEIR. It was Whitey Gerkens speed shop. He used to race 67 Chevelle stock cars at ohare Speedway.I had my 67 SS396 there for some super tuning in 71. That is the only shop I know that was in that area. I do not know when it closed.

Wow, I love hearing this type of local history. I was a little young in 1971 but could imagine there had to be all kinds of these smaller local speed shops back in the day. Just from this post I am going to make it a point to show my kids just where my favorite shops/eateries/go-to-spots are. So they can have a memory of it.
