Behind the Bank of America (1975-1982) Van Nuys Blvd.

The greatest days of all time , of my youth were spent after racing at O.C.I.R. or Irwindale raceway. Hitting the street races at midnight Saturday night watching the negotiations for all my real heroes to race each other at places all over the valley. there was always the instigators that were the ones that got it going . That one guy with the long hair n gl***es ( Pepsi in hand) was always making something happen. The 2 sometimes 3 blonde haired gentleman with a gold dodge. or the guy with the two plymouths (one towing the other) beep beep. or the guy with oldsmopiles wagon towing racecar behind it . the guys from Burbank with the camaros , yosemite sam n one with the clutch turbo that later became famous on a trans builder decals. the brothers w el camino camaro or AMX
I could go on n on and i will another time I just want to say I was witness to some great times

Hey Ray, im speed racer and I drive real fast

 

I drove thru that B o A parking lot a few months ago just to close my eyes and remember those nights. Those were the best days of my life and formed the best friendships from that time. Many of the friendships from that list^^^^^^^^

 

Meiso is 18years old now but Georgie is long buried in the front flower bed. It was cool sporting you at the airport a few weeks back. F18 day .... My AMC still runs . maybe with a prayer I will get DMV of my back and I will drive her to Bob's again , someday ! Trace out .
