Best "cheater" street racing story I recently heard:

NY National Speedway record holder with a black '66 Coronet and a worked 361 also did well money racing with the car on Clearview Expressway in the late sixties on LI. At the end of a good night he loses big money to a newcomer with a big block Chevy. So, they ask for a chance to win it back if the Chevy guy will let them put slicks on the Coronet. Chevy guy agrees. They return with an identical '66 black Coronet complete with slicks, one of the first street hemi motors and the license plates from the 361. They win, collect and disappear for awhile because that sh*t could get them killed. Supposedly they only did this twice and no one ever ratted them out.
