Connecting Highway

Two non muscle cars that I remember was Flip's Speed Shop's volvo and a Nash Metro
named Classical Gas.Short wheelbase and a S/B chevy on a concrete roadway.Very scary.
Anybody remember Mitchell's on 86th st. in Bklyn?They had the girls on roller skates there to bring you your food.Car hops.And how about New Park Pizza on Crossbay Blvd.Way better pizza than Pizza City.

Mitchells became Wetson's then (and now) Nathans.
New Park Pizza was real Pizza

Hey, don't forget.
'Don't Cook Tonite, Call Chicken Delight'
And White Castle with the 'tangy taste of onion' at "19 cents" a burger.
If you ate before you raced, your hands would slip of the Hurst "T" handle.

Art, The NHRA classifications really killed alot of street cars from racing.
Just who didn't have a car with an Edelbrock dual-plane aluminum high-rise, a Holley 780 dual-feed, and an Accel dual-point. Any tire size bigger than F-60's would be over 7", sending you into S/S, or M/P or Gas.
And the 4-speed street guys, didn't have the Lakewood Bell-Housings
(we all called them 'scattershields').
'A Fanabla'
* Kind of like the early suggested brackets, A 12.99 ET for big-block street cars, and 13.99 for small-block street cars. Cars had to be driven to the track, and with license plates. Had to run-off the 12.99 or 13.99 ET. Any intake, carb, hood scoop and any tire that fit within the wheel-well. Headers, and you could pull off the exhaust system, completely. Only safety items, Scattershields, helmets and seat-belt.
That would have worked.
