great old school pictures! I DIG it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, I'm surrounded by awesome history at work everyday, with drag racing legends The Gotelli's, and famed NHRA engine builder and founder of the old Champion Speed Shop Bruno Gianoli, who at 80 years old is still building engines for Roy Brizio Street Rods, Reggie Jackson and many more along with a few legends that come in and out weekly
keep your pics coming

Not everything has to have some sort of "name" to it either. I'd consider the trans am cars the purest form of muscle cars that you can get.

This article pretty much sums it up for me:

When I was a kid I always remember looking down at Riverside race track and begging my father to take me. He never did. Now its all strip malls and tract homes
