Default Pro stock in the early 70s Brooklyn heavy

So here’s a really good thread I think you guys will enjoy reading. It’s interesting to US as Pontiac guys because Nunzi was in this area and a few dealers like alpine and earlier Biener before they moved to long island. And as we just found out motion retuned a Royal bobcat GTO. In the Rosen thread. Stephen Pontiac was pretty close to the city they had a few Pontiac dealerships in CT and NJ. There were Other dealers in the area that raced too.

I thought this story was way to interesting to not post for you guys. Who knows might become a movie some day.
Rufus AKA Brooklyn heavy!
Some say there was a million a day! Some say the CIA was involved and we know he was in viet nam where some of that crazy CIA stuff was happening
Get some popcorn and enjoy the story.

So far so good. There's a thread like this on Yellow Bullet about the Chicago street racers. It had a lot of potential but sadly went in another direction. Just a few guys wanting to talk about themselves.

The crazy thing about this story is these are some of the TOP pro stockers in the middle of this deal. Some heavy (pun intended) hitter cars racing both on the track in the top 16 pro stocks and also on the street! Could you imagine the top pro stockers today street racing and being involved in a scandal like this one .
