Aww, man....El Centro ! I grew up when it was on it's way out, some time around 1984. This was the first time I saw up close a car power braking with a limited slip differential and it was a G T O. I was out there drinking California Coolers a year later when some dude rolled up saying the cops were coming. I scrammed out of there and tried to take a corner at too high a speed and drove my 73 Camaro wide through the turn and off the road into the ditch. A guy in Jeep yanked me out. I drove home to Citrus Heights but the front end was fucked up. I bent the idler arm and ripped the RH lower control arm mount dang near off the frame.

Yeah I remember that … everyone would take off from the cops out the back way towards the airport

I headed the other way, I think it was Del Paso that I turned LEFT on. Two guys that were in the back got rattled pretty good when I went off the road. About a year later I was with some other friends that went over a curb late one night on Salmon Falls road. I walked up the road to hitch a ride and those SAME two guys drove by and stopped to give ME a ride.
What the hell are the odds of that?
They HAD to think I would end up dying young for all the wrecks I was in as a young guy!

This topic reminds of an acquaintance - friend of mine that died out there on El Centro
He had a blue 65 GTO that was pretty fast … he was out there making passes alone.
They found him upside down in that big irrigation canal on the right side of the road .. with his chest crushed and drowned
I feel terrible I can’t remember his name.

We cruised Gratiot in Roseville, MI. I had a Dodge Magnum in 1989 with a 400 and t-tops. I terrorized my tires!

You are correct. Best years of my life!

We cruised Rt. 22 in Monroeville and Murrysville, Rt. 19 by Yenko's, Bethel Park and Pitcairn and Pittsburgh North Side, and did all this in 1968 as far as I was involved, many older guys had set these stops up including all the Eat and Park Restaurants. Good times and we thought it would always be like that but it all went away and Racetracks like P.I.D. followed.
