    organized by Big Willy and the Brotherhood of Street Races. Big Willy and his crew used to organize street races at various locations in So Cal. Big Willy and his wife both had those big Dodge Daytonas with those huge wings.

    We used to meet in a parking lot in Pomona, CA, which just happens to be home of the NHRA Winternationals. People would walk around, chat, check out cars and set up races. Some even brought cars on trailers.

    Once Big Willy decided, we would all head out usually to Ontario CA to the backside of where the Ontario Motor Speedway once stood. It was still fairly new at that time.

    Anyway, the streets back there had been improved so they were real wide and long and straight and flat. The Speedway was there but not much else back then so it was pretty empty real late at night.

    The Street Racers crew already had the 1/4 mile marked with paint stripes and they would bring out the starting lights (yes just like the real deal), cars would line up and we would go at it.

    Back then I was driving a '69 GTO Judge. It could move pretty good and I won a few and lost a few.

    Sorry this is so long but 'Yes' I have street raced before.
