Here there were some great drag races. No Not men in heels and sequin dresses.

No here there were Muscle cars with Turbo engines, double barreled carbs, wheels of chrome and shifting gears.

Speed and smoke ruled the night and the smell of fuel blurred your sight.

Hot women in halter tops and legs to there waved checkered flags making machines take flight!

Engines roared and shook the earth.

Adrenaline was a Rush and served all night.

The race was run and money earned.

The smell of gasoline punctuated the summer heat to the point of combustion!

Beer flowed fast and talk was cheap and sometimes cars ended up in heaps.

But the thrill of speed was intoxicating and revved the night.

You'd never know by looking now but Fuel and rubber burned upon this Ground.
