ok here it is Chuck..... Wish you were still that young?

[MagicRat]

I KNOW THAT GUY!

[troGNman]

Surely you're mistaken.  That guy is much skinnier and doesn't wear glasses.

[troGNman]

Welcome Chuck!..Good to see you on here..Yes, you would wave out the T-tops as you blew everyone's doors off!!! I remember the guy you're talking about..His name was Chris but we called him "Cordoba" because of the Chrysler he had..

George,  it was lots of fun blowing the doors off of carloads of guidos heading "down the shore" in their IROC's and Fireturd GTA's.  The assorted Mustang GT's were good competition especially the lighter LX hatches and notches.

I had much respect for the older musclecars at the time and I would choose my opponent wisely.  The exception being Stephen's "Thunder Jet" Cobra.

It was a different time back then and most guys were generally cool.

Some of the places I used to remember during impromptu late night speed contests:
 -Double Trouble Rd. (Along the GSP)
 -Miller Air Park
 -Dover Rd (Berkeley Twp. ?)
 -Airport Rd. (Lakewood)
 -Depot Rd. (Lakewood)
 -ssshhhhhh, dont tell no one......RT37

man what a blast we had back then.. i was there 1 night george had the 34 impounded,i believe miller air park.. the same night they got me for loud exaust.. i think steve and kevin were in the car with me when the cop asked me to start my car to hear the exaust. so i hit it easy a few times. he says no do it like you did back there.  so to the floor it went.. LOL

dam i noticed the first 2 pics are of me with my 66 comet against john and the maverick.. i didnt think there were any pics of it around before it was painted.. they had to be taken by steve...

Does anyone have a phone number for Joe Bowens? We gotta get him on here too. Maybe he can get in touch with Denis?

[John]

Hey guys, we need more pictures to keep this thread going. 

[460stang]

well first the pic of the green mach1 was not nitrous pete's. his was a red 71.. and george i believe you need to have your eyes checked as an old ford guy i cant believe you cant tell the difference between a comet and a gto.. in that fuzzy pic john posted with pete pushing his car. the other car is my 66 comet before it was painted.  back when it had a tired ass 2v windsor in it..

[John]

Hey if you want a re-match let me know bud! Also if you have any contact info for any of the guys from back then let me know.

What was it like to street race? I didn't get into that but wanted to.

[joelson6]

you always had to worry about loosing your license   

[John]

  Street racing was the ultimate. It was so much more fun than the track. There was just something really cool about doing something illegal and dangerous that made it much more fun. It's hard to describe but I liked it better. I wouldn't do it now though, too much to risk.
