Back in 1967, there was a crazy kid Dave P* that flat out stormed the streets of Mahopac, New York {Putnam County} with a 1963 Dodge #330 '426 Ramcharger'.
I grew up and went to high school in the next town over eastbound on Rte 6 ... Carmel (although 10 years later in the 70's). Small world!
At that time the top dog that I knew of was an Italian kid named Sal who had a maroon 70 LS6 Chevelle that could outrun all comers. The only guy that could come close to hanging with him was a guy named Jim with a black (with a cool yellow flame job on the front end) 69 Mach 1 Mustang with a 428 SCJ.
I never got to ride with Sal in his Chevelle but Jim was a friend of mine so I got plenty of rides in the Mach 1 and it was a beast. One day he got into it with a Camaro on a stretch of I-84. The Camaro faded and backed off but Jim kept his foot all the way in that 428 and didn't let up. We were passing cars like they were going full speed in reverse! I don't know how fast we were doing but it was stupid fast and that 428 just kept pulling. I don't know if it was Jim's temporary lack of sanity :violent1: or the crazy speed we were moving at, but it literally scared the piss out of me! :shaking:
