Cruising legal in California?

In the 70’s we had a burger/soda place on main street that had a huge parking lot right next to it, and 4 tables out front right next to the sidewalk.

On weekends that place was full of cars with groups of people hanging out talking about cars and whatever, and carloads of girls driving by yelling and waving.

I had my 440 Magnum 69 Roadrunner at the time, and it was normal for the 66 Falcon Futura with 7 colors of metal flake, the Brothers with their 2 Chevelle SS 396 cars, one of my friends 69 Charger RT, a 68 454 Camaro SS a few various Novas and Falcons to be there every night.

The cops would get you if you even barked a tire, but we would set up a race place outside of town, and meet up there.

Yep, good times.
