Racing in the Street

Readers of this blog, along with many followers of my Twitter page, know that I was a street racer for over 40 years. Many are also familiar with the book I wrote; "Grab Some Gears - 40 Years of Street Racing" all about many of my experiences with that, and the legal form, of drag racing.
Sometime in the mid 1980's, my little brother sent me a copy of the song; "Racing in the Street" by Bruce Springsteen. That song really hit home with me and became my adopted "theme song" from then on. I ran across it again today while going through some songs on You Tube, and it brought back a lot of old memories.
That got me remembering a lot of my old street racing buddies, some of whom are no longer with us. A couple of them that I was very close to; my nephew Rob Fetter, and my friend Steve Boothe, I miss very much. We shared our love of cars and drag racing for many years. I think of them often, especially when I'm at a car show or around a bunch of "car guys". Rest in peace my friends.
