I ain't sayin' nuttin'.

I "heard" it was right in front of the strip mall, next to Montgomery Wards.




THAT was a crazy fun experience. By then, I had the race built LS6 in the '70 Chevelle. When I came up to the burnout spot, I told the guy with the water bottle I didn't need any to get the tires spinning. I had perfected the heel/toe method of a standing burnout with the brake pedal and proceeded to make some smoke. Insanely dangerous in hindsight, with thousands of people crowding the cars, but who thought of that when we were having fun ?

We have seriously hijacked this thread Mitch...

You may remember the silver Camaro, cover October '77 Car Craft. I built the blown 427 and 400 Turbo for my friend's ex-ProStocker turned street machine. A University Ave burnout favorite! License plate "PRO"
