    Vintage "Street Racing" Video - AWESOMEST EVAR



    I'm pretty sure this could never happen again. Because lawyers. Because nanny state. Because we collectively are no where near as awesome as we were in 1986.

      They use to have vintage racing in the public streets in downtown Los Angeles (blocked off with k-rails and fences of course) in the mid/late 90's i use to get free tickets and hospitality tent passes to it because it was sponsored by Ford. My ex use to work for Ford thats how i got them. It was really great to see them race there.

        Lawyers.. Ruined racing.

        It used to be we learned from mistakes and what has happened. Now all the rules and such are based on what COULD happen..

          I'm not sure how to say this, but ending street circuit racing probably had a bit more to do with the huge amount of deaths and injuries than the lawyers.

            Agreed. This seems super unsafe. People crossing a hot course, etc.

              Back on topic, that RCA TV in a cabinet in the first commercial break... We definitely had that exact TV when I was growing up. Same cabinet and all.
