Quote: WOW! Sounds like you covered 'most everything & looking at it thyat way it DOES seem logical. Although I know first hand the guys that hung out at the Marina would go to 150, the Van Wyck or Cross Island depending on traffic, the cars & money involved. It wasn't uncommon to lean on a guy to drive his car from the Marina to the Clearview or Cross Island just to insure (in our minds, anyway) that his car was REALLY a street car (yeah, right!) Now guys like myself or John actually lived in the middle of alot of it (I lived near Flushing Hospital, John by 150thSt.)so it didn't really make alot of difference to us. Of course some guys flat-towed (remember the NSW towing hubs?) or trailered their cars but those guys had backers, REAL strong cars, and ran for alot of money. I was just happy to get "play money" out of it all and move on....
I was just happy to witness SOME of the HISTORY!! Thanks to the members/racers who made it possible!!
