I thought maybe you lived around there when you had the Judge. I'm pretty sure I won. I only lost 2 races back then, to a 70 Torino Cobra Jet and a 69 AMX. I had the AMX up to about 100mph and he walked past me after hitting a switch on his dashboard. I had never heard of N2O until that night.

I wonder which Camaro that is in the distance, the illegal acid dipped one or the more than likely full weight legal one.

That's because it was the Pontiac East Assembly plant, which was the truck plant located on Opdyke Rd.

I've launched product in that plant.

Not the Pontiac passenger car complex on Montcalm and Joslyn.
