Hmmmm! War stories!!!

Since street racing is illegal, I'm sure I never did anything like that! But I do remember some speed demonstrations!

I remember a visit to Las Vegas in the summer of 1967. Some kid in a 396 Chevelle (probably a 325 hp version) was raggin' on my '58 Delrey. I guess he didn't like yellow, poor boy cars. He had no clue about earlier Chev performance stuff, just that the car his daddy bought him was the neatest thing on four wheels. A brief encounter on a straight, back road showed him that Chevie's earlier big block with tri-power, a bit of an overbore, and a gnarly cam, could thump his mellon. He was fairly quiet after that .
