Your new musclecar

In December 1970, I bought my 1969 Z/28 with 10k miles on it, from a friend of mine for $1350. I have street raced it, set records with it and still to this day enjoy it.
One night I was up at Burger King in Bethpage, L. I. N.Y. and there was a 1969 big block chevelle with NOS on street tires looking for a race. I told the guy that I have a 1969 Camaro with small slicks (at that time I was holding the record for E/S) and a small block. He agreed to give me the break, needless to say, he knew he was done when I left with the wheels up. We raced for only $100, but back then it was alot of money.
On another night I was going to race John Nobile the pro stock racer on the street, he had a Chevelle at the time. I was in the middle of doing my burn out when the cop pulled behind my car, my friends waving to me to turn the car off, that's when I noticed the cop. I shut the car off and got out like nothing was happening, took off my helmet and started pushing the car by hand. The cop told me not to get too far because he want to talk to me. Well we told him what was up and he said he'd let us get the race over with until his sargent showed up. The cops let us hook are cars up (flat towing) and get out of there.
Those where fun days, you knew that the street cars that you were going to race to be at best mid 11 cars.
