We started talking about the old street racing scenes in
BOTTLEFED's build thread,
Pressure Ratio was around back in those days too.
Broke EF you were out there too.
I'm curious where y'all hung out back in those days.
Once I finished college I moved to the North side in 1989. By 1991 I had '68 Chevelle SS and later picked up a '92 Mustang GT. I used to check out Fluky's, Strats on Mannheim (on Mondays I think it was). I first started hearing about street racing spots from Surej (other Dr. Boost lol) around 1993. I had come across Harlem and Belmont the White Castle and also the DDs. But one time I was driving my '70 Chevelle and came up on Sureg and 4 other indian guys all driving Grand Nationals on Fullerton Ave. I followed them up to the Lincoln Village movie theater parking lot.
By this time the North side street racing scene was dying, Clybourn, Elston, nobody raced on those streets anymore. I never knew much about Back of the Yards, I'm still not even sure where that is lol. I know folks also ran at 79th at Kostner, Archer, and I'm sure there are ton of other scenes.
Up there I met Stretch and some of his buddies, and other folks (Marko, Pete who now has the green ZR1 C4, Burt, folks like that).
After the cop got f'n out of control with tickets Lincoln Village was all but dead and folks would go to gas station on Peterson. At some point folks mentioned Schaumburg, 4 corners, RT30 Sauk down South.
I hung out in Schaumburg a lot after the city scenes were all busted. Burger King, Cue Can Do.
How about you guys?
