Street Outlaws. Are you guys into it

11.82 was the best I went in my street strip 340 Duster. I can count the times I lost on about 2 or 3 fingers and I even raced towed in cars. People still walk up to me today and bring up stories about us racing back then. About 1/2 mile from my house we had a brand new divided 4 lane concrete road. Right there started what was referred to as the missing link, a 1.5 mile connector that wasn’t built for years. 25 miles from pittsburgh people had to get off and rarely got back on so we had it almost to our selves. The cops knew we raced there and actually thanked us for not racing in our little town. People came from miles around to race us and one night we had 52 or 54 races. I ran Formula one tires (N50) and they still spun bad. Would have been nice to have a set of today’s radials.

We had a good safe road as well here in Michigan. This one was an entrance ramp onto I-94 freeway, but they built it really long and two lanes wide for some reason. You had enough room for two cars to race perfectly straight with zero possibility of cross traffic or pedestrians before a gentle curve to the right and then both cars only had to slow down enough to freeway speed and merge onto the freeway safely, which had very light traffic in the middle of the night.
Some years ago they "modernized" that entrance ramp. It got moved over and made into a single lane. A small patch of the old concrete still remains in the old location, and it brings back memories each time I drive by there.
