Street Racing Articles

[Dave Rifkin]

One article that I can't forget was in an issue of Car Craft (I think). I detailed an arranged high dollar street race that was supposed to take place late one night in the Chicago area.
One car was a 1969 Camaro Z28 RS that was owned by a guy named Scotty Brown. The car had a nasty tunnel rammed big block, narrowed rear and a Lenco transmission. His opponent was Steve Lisk and his 1971 Hemi Challenger, also tunnel ram equipped, narrowed Dana 60 and a Lenco.

The article starts describing the cars unloading and prepping for the race when the cops show up, or something like that. Whatever happened the story ends without the race taking place.

Great!Thanks for the link.I just ordered 2 articles from Ebay.It would be cool if we could set up some kind of online librairy.
&quot;Big Willie&quot;.I remember him.I think he was in the beginning of &quot;2 lane blacktop&quot;.That and Bullet are my 2 favorite movies for fast cars.I still get a chill everytime I watch Bullet and the Charger first hits it.
If anyone wanted to swap/sell a copy of an article,I would be into that.

This just gets better and better! I've been trying for years to remember the magazine and issue this story was in. I thought it was Car Craft but I wasn't sure and I wasn't even sure of the year. Many, many thanks for your post, I just found an issue online and purchased it.

Must have been Stefano........I &quot;Never&quot; participated in anything that was &quot;Ilegal&quot;, unsanctioned, unsafe, and I never exceeded the Legal posted speed limit anywhere on the streets of Chicago...........I was a &quot;Model&quot; citizen growing up in the Windy city...........Now....Stefano I'm not so sure about.........
