I actually went to that a few times. But that was back when all I had was an old H750. Lost most of the time.
Tha was down by Gateway racetrack, but it's all developed now. I'm sure there's still some street racing going on somewhere down there though.

we did a lot of street racing when we were kids,but we were never dumb enough to have people standing 2' away from where we were running!:angry:
Still recovering,some days are better than others.

Brought back a lot of memories for me. Did a LOT of street racing in Albquerque back in the late 70's. "South Eubank" was the spot every Fri and at night. Raced my '69 AMC Javelin with a built 390. Did pretty well, bikes showed up too. All night racing tho, started about 10 pm until 12 or 1 am. Had a blast and miss it!!
1980 KZ650F1, Bought new out the door for $2,162.98!
