Okay, so 49 ain't exactly "young" and I aplogize.
I think the point of the thread was to re-tell (again & again & again ) the things that made us just what we are & produced our oultlook on things automotive.
But you have to admit things are alot different now. Streetracing nowadays is more expensive all the way around, too risky and the punishments too great to warrant it. Not that we're too affraid to race a 4-figure (or more) musclecar but nowadays there's just too much to lose. Also for many, these stories are the closest thing some will ever come to strrtracing as it was & some would say, should be.
