Default Re: chicago street racer names and reputations, late 60s

I worked at the gas city in those pictures starting in 75, it was across from the chicago ridge center where all those cars parked. man, that was great to see!
a lot of the accidents I saw were exactly where those pictures were taken. I will never forget the vette that shattered into on million little fragments on a drag race that went terribly wrong. The guy did die and all that was left were the 2 seats in the middle of archer. Some guys raced when it was cold out, I do remember that. I did see a lot of good races go down. It was awesome when some guys came in for gas and their engines were turning high revs at idle due to their radical cam.

My house was 4 blocks right behind where that was. thanks darren and ima62 for the flashback!
