Street Racing -The Way it Used To Be.

When anyone thinks of street racing now, it probably brings up images of "The Fast and the Furious" movies in recient years. Those movies had more to do with showing wild, intense, action movie drama, than they did with real street racing. The old movie "American Graffiti" is a way more accurate portrayal of real street racing. At least, the kind of street racing we used to have. The races between muscle cars, hot rods, and normal, everyday street cars, was the old style street racing. When the souped-up imports started to enter the scene, and originally inspired the "Fast and Furious" style street racing, it marked the beginning of the end for street racing in America. It got too wild and out of control, and the general public demanded a crack down. I was involved in street racing for over 40 years, and I saw it happening. That's what inspired me to write a book about it. For an inside look at my experiences with the evolution of street racing over the last half century, check out my book;  "Grab Some Gears - 40 Years of Street Racing".
