lol I hear ya. Sad thing is that 's true. To crowded to hit the Big Mac now a days. I guess we will have to go back to Rt 8 lol. Laughing
When I was in Campbell County High school we raced across Visalia Bridge. If the Campbell County Police came after us we could drive over the bridge and onto old Decorsey. The PD would stop becasue they didn't want to call in the next county back before they were allowed to go across the invisible county or state lines. Same with Kenton County. It seemed like a long stretch of road when we had slow cars. Not that mine is fast now but I could not see racing anyone down that road now. We would take off right after the curve and be stopped before we went across the tracks. LOL Yeah we had some slow junk. .. It was still fun.

They take all this stuff away and they wonder why all these kids are getting in trouble with street racing. Some say that it's because of the tracks that kids go there, but then can't keep it on the track. The the tracks cause it to spill into the streets. I know where I lived in Viriginia there wasn't a place to go to the drag strip, but that didn't stop all the street racing. It was pretty bad out there when I was there. Much worse than it ever has been around here.

The phrase, "Land of the Free" is starting to really lose it's meaning.
Everything is either bad for us, or too dangerous. It's a wonder we are even alive since all of our parents shouldn't have survived long enough to have children.

The Club I believe was the "ROD BENDERS".. A buddy of mine who's father just passed was a member of the club.. His name was Kenny Marquis, and another friend of mine Jeff Crowe his Father was also instumental in the starting of the track if memeory serves me right.. They Built a pretty wicked 27 roadster and campaigned it for a bit, not sure what happened to it.. Next time I see Jeff or Aaron (KENNY's SON) I will see if I can get the actual low down and some of the newspaper clippings of the track and the car from back in the day......
