Now for the but part.... Back in the day, I'm talking the 60's all the street racing on Woodward Ave and Gratiot is what gave all you guys the Hot Rods you have now. Like it or not all the high performance ( factory and after market) came from the street in some form or another. May it just be an idea or a cool name for something, that's where it all starts. I'm not condoning street racing, just being a realist on the history like it or not.
RIP to those killed in a senseless accident....

You`re very right concerning street racing and Woodward Ave. being the unofficial test grounds for Hi-performance development during the sixties but it was also during and a little before this period that sanctioned racing groups like the NHRA, AHRA were born to take drag racing off the street and to put it in a safer enviroment.
The tracks are there if you choose to use them or if you choose to street race you will also have to accept the consequences of death, crippling injuries and lawsuits.
It`s your choice, if you choose street racing and you kill or maim me or mine be aware of the lawsuits and a life time of guilt for your actions.
