I live in a small town of 2700. In the early to to mid 80's on every Friday - Saturday night there was always someone continually cruising our 2.5 mile drag. Up and down up and down we would sometimes put 100 miles on and never leave town !!
Lots of 60's 70's muscle ...lots of variety but always a majority of Mopars. We would hand out at the Texaco gas station usually at least 12-20 cars minimum.. After it closed at 9 pm it was the gather spot where the guys would talk drink beer and decide to go out of town to race at the marked out 1/4 mile. All with pre stage and stage area painted lines. If it was a still night could hear the boys racing it up out of town.

Sometimes we shoot the poop for awhile and cruise for a while.
We had town police and they had one cop car and a force of 1 chief and 3 officers. We would cruise and as long as you were not ripping the streets up we were rarely bothered.

As time moved on and lifes changed for some jobs away, cars sold for marriage the cruising all weekend faded away the next generation never really continued on what we did for cruising and cruising more. By mid 90's was rare to see someone cruising the drag and never seen a car sitting at the Texaco after 9:00.
Today Texaco is now a off brand gas station our 4 man cop force is gone replaced by a huge municipal force and I and one friend occasionally will meet to cruise the drag and drive out of town past the ole marked 1/4 mile the paint marks long since disappeared.

Only thing left is our 2 cars and just memories now.

Yes here it is gone.
