Really have to watch out for this, back in my crazy days when I was running around in a 86GT that was an 11:20s car on radials I got nabbed street racing by an undercover sting, my competitor ran and ended up with a gambit of charges and some jail time, I had to hire a lawyer to get me off on the pre-arranged racing charges. I have to admit it was alot of fun up until that point.

I hear you bro, that is what usually happen when we parked (parked; taking over an establishments parking lot to BS, sh!t talk and pre-stage races). We had a couple people that got hurt in a 350 Monza and Dodge Daytona 2.2 turbo race. After that, there were always cops that dispersed the entire parking lot or they had a UC nearby.
"Bench racing" to me is almost the same thing that we use to do, although we couldn't get banned and the parking lots were full of different makes and models. The fastest guy there had a tubbed Chevy Luv with a double pumper 410 w/ an occasional spray hidden under the bed cover, some kind of 3 speed and 4.10's in the rear. The only slip he carried around was a 10.89 @ 128mph... Nobody ever raced him. I had a mini tubbed 1976 Mustang II notchback and ran a 351c duel 4bbl, C4 transmission, custom cut driveshaft and weight reduction... I never put it on a dyno, never ran it on a track. It was the awesome....
Edit: I was always a big fan of the Mustang II, My father owned a 1978 King Cobra that he bought brand new, I was driven home from the hospital in that car my mother tells me and my father confirmed. I always idolized the 1978 Mustang Cobra Monroe Handler, Jack Roush, changed out the 5.0 V8 for his own brand of Ford Windsor. I would buy the car instantly if I were to see one.
