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

I'm going back to 1980 thru the early to mid 90's . There was a few spots to run on Fri. / Sat. nights . It depended on where you lived and where you called "your main spot" . For me the main spot was called WestGate because there was a big mall parking ( WestGate mall ) lot to hang out in and set up the races that was right beside rt. 27 were we had the quarter mile marked off . On any given Fri./Sat. night there would be all kinds of cars from all over filling the parking lot and runs after runs going off on rt. 27 . We didn't have a list like on some TV shows nowadays . We had what we called king of the hill . Which was the fastest car that week or month . Some of the fastest cars I can remember was my 69 Charger with a built 440 , 2 fours , bottle in the trunk , etc. that my best time at the track was in the 9's side ways . Next under or beside me ( depending on the week ) was a buddy's 68 440 powered runner . His brother had a couple of cars during that period but I think the Fastest was his 440 ( ex track car ) 69 Dart . Also there was my now wife that ran a big block 383 Dart that was a lot faster then my buddy's 440 Dart . But it was harder for her because back then , guy's didn't want to race against a girl . Personally I think it was that they didn't want to be seen losing to a girl . If I remember right her car did a 10 flat in street trim . There was also one other guy I'll never forget . This guy's name was "Wild Bill" . He was a welder by trade and every time you saw him he looked like he had just crawled out from under the greasiest ford you ever saw . lol He drove this orange 70 Runner with primer spots all over it , cut quarters to fit the big tires and totally stripped out to lighten up the car . There was a time were he didn't even have any glass in the car , not even a windshield . At that time he raced with what looked like welders goggles , with clear lens's . lol You didn't see Bill to often and you never seen him before the race . But somehow he would get a race set up and the next thing you know , he'd be up at the light lined up next to his next victim . He never challenged us for some reason but he had no problem lining up next to any brand X cars and I never did see him lose a race . Well I could go on and on about all the different cars like blown chevy's , bottle rocket mustangs , big and small block Mopar's , etc. etc. and the people that drove them , but this story has gotten longer then I had planned so I'll leave it there . Thanks for the memories guy's . I'll leave you with a couple of pictures I have downloaded of the wife's Dart , Johns Runner , Ricks Dart and my Charger . :burnout:
