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

hemicop said

Late 60s/early 70s NYC had a ton of streetracers, some pro quality. The fastest would be hard to say, but some of the best? That'd have to be the "Wild Pumpkin" race team of Rufus boyd aka "Brooklyn Heavy". He had a S&M car, and rumor had it his primered Camaro ('68 I think) was actually Bill Jenkins old P/S car. Nicolson's Cammer Mustang was running at the time, so you can see it'd be hard to pick THE ONE............

I grew up just "upstate" of NYC and I remember some of those guys. Can't forget the infamous Mudd brothers and their legendary Hemi Dart as they were right there with the rest of the NYC heavy hitters. But those guys were all in a league of their own. Guess you could have called them "semi-pro" cause their rides were purpose built race cars being driven (probably illegally) on the street. Those "semi-pro" cars were far removed from what the fastest "amateur" young guy was ripping around in his home town with. But it is those "young guns" that I like to think of with this thread as it is those guys that I can best relate to and like hearing about. :burnout:
