My teen years growing up in Chicago were fantastic (Gage Park High School; Class of '67), just as muscle cars were evolving. We had well known dealerships (Nicky Chevrolet and Mr. Norm's Dodge) that catered to this boom in muscle cars and drag racing. Made many trips to US 30 Dragstrip in Indiana and a couple others in Illinois and Wisconsin. Pic below is just after I took my '66 Chevelle SS-396 out of storage the day after returning home from Vietnam in August 1970. Gee I haven't aged a bit.....in my dreams and fantasies anyway.
