I remember going there & the downtown Detroit boys were racing heads up for cash with the clocks off...
Some of those guys would come to Windsor & race for cash on highway 3B
1 guy had nitrous hidden in his car under the manifold
That was mid 80 s

Fun times

Holy shit, as I was reading that I was scared you were at the 1960 races! Then it said mid-80’s. You were looking fairly old for a sentence or two!!

Yep, we had no portable phones, we had to work a rotary dial to even call someone, we had to walk over and find others to talk with them. Oh, don’t get me started as to why some of us old bastards are not fat pigs.
