One article that I can't forget was in an issue of Car Craft (I think). I detailed an arranged high dollar street race that was supposed to take place late one night in the Chicago area.
One car was a 1969 Camaro Z28 RS that was owned by a guy named Scotty Brown. The car had a nasty tunnel rammed big block, narrowed rear and a Lenco transmission. His opponent was Steve Lisk and his 1971 Hemi Challenger, also tunnel ram equipped, narrowed Dana 60 and a Lenco.

The article starts describing the cars unloading and prepping for the race when the cops show up, or something like that. Whatever happened the story ends without the race taking place.

This just gets better and better! I've been trying for years to remember the magazine and issue this story was in. I thought it was Car Craft but I wasn't sure and I wasn't even sure of the year. Many, many thanks for your post, I just found an issue online and purchased it.
