I grew up in Bkln and LI...in the 60s, if you raced you paid big-time. Don't know about now. In any event, speed on a public road is dangerous (and no, I'm not a shrinking violet) both because other drivers may appear unexpectedly and because you've got no safety facilities on the highway if you need them. I didn't mean to flame...I think Bondurant's is terrific and running at speed on a controlled and safe facility is great fun.
Enjoy your C6 safely and,

There definetly were not as many in those days and what racing that was done on the strets was far more frequent then there is now. It was a time of open headers and 500 plus horse power cars. They used to have a 1/8 mile drag strip at Islip speedway back then as well. After people got tired of the stret they would go there to shot for some times. If I remember correctly it cost about 6 bucks to run. Good old days.
I also remember the Islip Speedway...I had another friend with a Dodge Hemi that he souped up who would run there along with another pal who had a truly worked over '58 Pontiac something. Good old days indeed! Be well
