Your local street car celebrities

I grew up within 3 miles of a drag strip and about 5 miles of a 1/4 mile dirt track.
Plenty of hot cars on the street around here.

The baddest of bad was Joe Law. He had a blown SBC in a 29 ford roadster.
His car has been in hot rod magazine, and he held the Bonneville speed record for a couple of years on a open body car running over 200 mph.
This car was driven on the street alot.
I watched him at test n tune at Eldora race way preparing for Bonneville, he ran around a 4.80 in the 1/8 mile and let off way before the lights.
