I covered some street racing when I was Car Craft's tech editor around 10 years ago. It was a lot of fun but I wouldn't do it again. When you show up to these spots with an expensive camera, with a huge flash mounted on top, and are shooting pictures of cars launching and doing burnouts, it's a matter of time before you're "asked" to get lost.

Joe Oldham seems to be one of the best writers about the glory days of muscle cars and street racing during that period, so if you google him, you should be able to find some decent material.

Hi Everyone..new to the forum, but I found the post concerning the Gapp and Roush - Ruggirello Mustang II and wanted to let you know I am currently restoring it back to its original April 1977 Hot Rod Magazine article condition.

I'm hoping Mr. David Rifkin can help me with some history on it, since I have not been able to find out anything on previous owners since it left Detroit in 1981.

More to come!

Cool car!

A Woodward feller or two here might have some background on it, as well ...
