The year was 1972 I was 14,had three older brothers with GTO's GTX's and Roadrunners. Our house was the first from the stop sign of a wide road in the township (start line). Every friend of my brothers felt the need to launch there car from that spot. This when on all nite,noa/c then so the windows were always open. The smell of rubber would get bad sometimes. The street looked like a drag strip. A half a block away was a drug store with two young pharmacist one had a AAR 'Cuda and the other a TA challenger,every nite at closing time i would sit on the curb and watch these two battle for the next days bragging rights. Those were the days for sure.
