I used to drag race back in high school. Ran my 69 Camaro, my 68 Cougar, and the 71 Mustang I had. Most fun you can have with your clothes on!!

We had a strip on LI called "Sunrise Highway Timing Association" . Home of "Motion Performance" pics appeared in Hot Rod and Popular Hotrodding mags of Camaros pulling wheelies down the street. Baldwin Chevrolet had 427's and 409 engines sitting on the show room floor. good ol days.
