Quote: Certain BB Cuda was probably Billy from upstate. He had that thing on kill covertly running high 11's with stock HP exhaust manifolds way before the F.A.S.T guys were in vogue. All due respect to the F.A.S.T guys. Drunk Mike or Budweiser Mike was no joke on the go pedal and steering. The more he drank, the better he drove and cut a mean hand drop. I DO NOT condone drinking and driving, especially racing. For the record, Fountain lost its edge once the un-appreciates bled over from Columbia St. aka Redhook.
Alcohol+11sec. ride equals collateral damages, lawsuits, hospitalization leading to the avenue of DEATH. . AS far as the spillage from Columbia St., the actual problem was wannabee spectators who wanted to "create their own runs" wheras pro runners like yourself organized it SAFELY and PROFESSIONALLY!! There is no place on the street for the foolhardy or the showoff. The concept is to line up, get it on quickly/safely and DISSAPEAR!! Organization is the KEY!!
