    I don't seem to remember a big event between them. lol I was a manager at Blockbuster Video so I wasn't out every night. I could have missed it. Give us a quick version of the story. lol

    Gagner wasn't with us either. We raced, and more accurately, verbally fought with them. hahaha

    I don't remember many times when the Schaumberg crew came up to Northgate. When Tough Enough came up finally and got clipped hard, that group didn't come up for a long time. lol But that was probably late 90's. But ya, I don't remember that at all.

    We started out with me in my red 83 Capri...
    Charlie in a grey 87 GT (Made most of our money with this car. Everyone up there hated him too lol)
    Rod had his 1969 Riviera, later a Buick Skyhawk (Riv made a lot of money as it was a fast boat lol)
    Ken has a blue Satellite that was a road runner look-a-like.
    Paul with his red 76 Firebird and Blue 80 FB that looked bone stock
    Kevin with his brown 70 Firebird
    Scott with his LT1 Firebird
    Aaron with a calypso notch
    Matt with a 70 Camaro with a BB and roots blower
    Tim with a blue 67 Camaro
    And a few others here and there

    But ya, Mahmood, Armondo, Dr Boost, Brian Tough-E-Nuff, Gagner, and a lot more I can't remember. We started back in high school in 1990. So early on until Schaumburg was killed off after the Woman's Work Out World parking lot got ruined after the cops let us use it. Because ricers and people who didn't belong there crashed trying to get into the lot after a race. Then it was being chased around from McDonald's, the train station, Burger King, Handy Andy, etc. Then it was a lot more of Northgate and 4-corners.

    Ya, all of those guys too.

    BOTTLEFED BOTTLEFED Who was the kid with the red Chevelle? I think it was his dad's car. I'm totally drawing a blank on his name. We raced him a couple of times. He raced often and ended up at RSD a lot too. I am so bad with names but can imagine all of their faces lol
