Fastest Street Cars In Your Town, 'Back In The Day'

I think every town has a crazy bastard.
Early 80's there was a drag strip in town, so lots of hot cars.

The fastest car I remember was Joe Law running a blown SBC in in a 32 ford.
I watched the old Grey haired dude lay down 4.0 second pass in the 1/8 letting off before the finish line........Talked to him later that night he was only running a 2.0 gear.

He was testing the car for Bonnivile for a speed record, which he held for a while in the same car.

That car you would see all over the streets.

I remember that car also had a feature in a magazine, I think it was in hot rod, but it was crude compared to todays standards, all home built, scary fast as ****.
