Sunroof's thread on the bus races brought back an awesome memory of when I was a kid, the local 1/4 mile oval track at the end of the night would let people line up their cars, whatever they drove to the track to spectate, 2 at a time from a dead stop, for one lap.

My biggest dream as a kid was to turn 16 so I could build a wringer, a sleeper Mopar with trick suspension, good size tires all the way around, and a screamin small block.

I remember guys piling Cobra mustangs into the wall. Also remember a Camaro that spanked everyone then they took his trophy because they found out he was a racer there, it was suppose to be for spectators only.

Insurance reasons ended the whole thing right about when I turned 16, what a bummer. Too many guys would drink all night watching races and then sign up for the parking lot drags.
