Please...old timers, give us some really hard core Nabisco street racing storys!
Sarge:
My memory of Nabisco invoved racing my neighbor's Dodge Super Bee in my 63 sedan (1835cc, 48IDA's, Engle 125, close ratios/4:37). We raced for $20...a lot of money way back when! I lost by a fender but I was with Ron Fleming at the time along with Doug and Whit Haydon. The Haydons set up another race for double or nothing between my neighbor and Whit Haydon's car which was across town in their shop. We all caravaned over to the Haydon's shop on Fender St. What my neighbor failed to realize was how fast and how much more HP Whit's car had...it was simply another VW to squash. When Whit backed his car out of the shop with a stinger on the exhaust, my neighbor wouldn't race until he un-corked his headers, too. Well, you guessed it...Whit smoked the guy bad! Then we all had to bail quick into the Haydon's shop to avoid the cops which showed up immedietly...go figure!
Rocket-Racing:
Cool.. I can only imagine it..
A cal-look VW and a beast like this side by side. The sounds of the hot stinger equipped flat four and a tuned 440 six-pack..
The roar as they floor their pedals and the VW coming first out of the cloud of smoke and winning the race..
One thing's for sure; I wish I was there!
Keep the stories coming guys!

I never knew that Doug & Whit Haydon were into VWs. They used to be my customers when I worked at BAP/Geon on St College. My '67 was always parked there... you'd think they would have said something.
Sarge:
Ah, those uppity DKP guys...go figure!! ;D Both those guys had nice, fast cars...Doug: 1967 lotus white sedan later painted "Vicks Bottle Blue" with 5 spoke American's (Lazenby) Whit: Sepia Brown 56 sedan. When it came time to race, those cats were always the first to jump...if they lost, then how about a FIGHT!!!
Rick Meredith:
LOL... I believe it! They were pretty neat guys. I know that they were on Fender when I started and then they were on Rose. Don't know if they're still around. I always told myself that if I ever got a Porsche they'd be the ones that I'd have do the repair work on.
I remember one day that Whit pulled into my shop in a blue 911SC (Customer's Car no less) with one of Fullerton's finest right behind him... full light show going.
