IMO, the fact is, while Detroit was undoubtedly the center of it all (naturally!) NYC had, I think, more character & more "professional" streetracers than most anyplace else.If there was a trafficlight somewhere & 2 musclecars were stopped, you'd have a race- and the big boys knew how to safely setup some high-dollar runs without all the risks you see nowadays......

When I was growing up my friends were heavy into the street racing seen in NYC, it was krazy, I would see them renting motors, switching bodies, changing the color of their primer on the cars to catch another victim Have also seen much tragedy All in All, it was some great time. My friend till this day still has a Sox and Martin Challenger in the BX, in pieces, and wont let it go for nothing, I'm hoping to inherit it one day

The Cuda he had the engine in was a special invited guest of mine at my Art show in 1994. Yeah, the stories are long, can't even start now. By the way, the Maverick in the picture belonged to a friend of mines that was running a Rat for some time, can not remember for sure if it was at that particular run.

Quote: Nice The first article says someone bought Dick Landy's 70 Pro Stock Challenger to street race it I just read an article in a magazine about that car. I think the car is in HAWAII now. I think the story went something like ,this guy street raced alot and wanted to go faster and bought a HEMI challenger and sent it to Landy so he could set the car all up. I think thats how it went.
