Thornburgh Bridge Dragstrip

We used to go there every friday, but back then I never had anything fast. It was just a cool time. Most of the time, the cops would come and just make everybody leave, but a couple of times, they blocked it off, impounded cars, and took licenses.

 

Tim very few people had Fast cars back then. Nobody had any $$$$ And late 70’s early 80’s nobody wanted Muscle cars.
Unless if you were smarter than the average bear!

 

Pittsburgh was a steel town. That collapsed . In the late seventys It was hard times effected everyone who lived there

 

When I graduated from college in 1980, I went to work for a local (Greenville, SC) engineering company. Probably half of the electrical department had originally worked for U.S. Steel in Pittsburgh and had moved to Greenville when U.S. Steel went belly-up in the late seventies.

 

Yes the domino effect. When Pgh. Crashed it effected the whole country. But if you live here . It’s amazing how this city came back . Lots of High Tech company’s here.
we ain’t Dead No Mo

 

There was a fast fox body mustang. It was red and had a cage. Might have been a high 10 second car back then. And this was back in the mid 90s.

 

A ten second car back then was really something. no you buy ten second cars from the dealers, crazy!!!

 

I’m not in to anything that’s not Factory and streetable. I find Pure stock drags very cool. And FAST series. Anything past that becomes Dangerous. I do not want to see someone crashing a car going fast

 

I have to get down there and get photos of the New pavement. I hope it’s not a **** show

 

Well I could be wrong. But I think Amazon is secretly buying this Property. Is no secret that Amazon has **** canned almost all offers in city’s other than Pgh. Pa. And it would make sense that Amazon would get that property for penny’s on the dollar. The crime in those projects has been terrible for 40 years. And that would make sense that if construction would take place. That road got paved for newer traffic. Curious.

 

Fairywood is a place no one wants to live in

 

Got the word today. That road is Beautiful. Just 5alked to the original owner of Crafton Heights Autobody. He said just like back in the day. 30 foot at the front. It’s all cement . Then past that all new very smooth asphalt.

 

Now all they have to do is let us street race down there. My car will be a little faster this time.

 

I’m gonna have to pay The road to nowhere a visit. With the Buick

 

66* Saturday cool day first day of Fall

 

Tim (2) Buick’s

 

Have to take my Lazor range finder dyne ner n’at. And Bright yellow Rust oleum spray bomb. (440) yards

 

And there’s a Primanti’s right up the street.

 

Wait what’s there No. 1 seller?

 

I couldn’t tell ya. Every time I’ve eaten there, they’ve been dry and tasteless. Beer is cold, though.
