I love the interviews with these seasoned racers. The history they share paints an exciting picture of times past. This man shares credit with all his old friends but he certainly stands out. Thank you for the video!!
Great history. I saw Philly street racing in the 80s but i wish i was around to see these guys run back in the 60s in the streets. Nice job documenting these great people.
Willie Campbell is a New York City Legend, would love for him to sign my '65 Fastback Mustang. Where is Mr. Campbell located now? Took the South Conduit to work for years, Fountain Ave, Bedford Ave. too. Still get my speed equipment from SK Speed in Lindenhurst, NY. Heavy's Garage was across from where I worked on Lexington Ave. in Brooklyn.
👍🏼😎 nice touch on what it was like back in the day..born in the 60s my dad and his brother's and cousins, sisters all from south Carolina moved to new York and my mother's side from Pennsylvania all did the same seeking a better life if opportunity. All my uncles were into street racing. Monty Carlos, buick Riviera, 63 impala's anything 😂😂. I loved going to English town raceway park. I live in Pennsylvania now as an adult and seems tuner cars are what's going on today but I will always love oldschool muscle on the streets and miss the days of car meets on franny Lou, Bqe, queens boulevard the 69s and 70s was when my love of street cars took to my blood.😂😂🏁🏁🏁ps..as a Gm guy I'll tell you in my opinion the Mavericks were underrated and had so much potential but it is what it is😂😂 nice post!👍🏼😎
HI PARKER , Such history you have been documenting with these guys. EXCELLENT WORK . BOOSTING CARS , PAYING OFF COPS DAMMMMM LOL What a cool guy , wish I could have been there , back in the day , ENGLISHTOWN had shutdown befor I could run there , but may make it a track 1 day. Please find as many of these guys as you can TY
Excellent....Video....We would love to hear more....we need to remember our past...and also that is one sweet looking Maverick....God Bless and God Bless the USA...
Great interview! Amazing history! Being from NJ, I know alot of the places he talked about where they would race. Drag racing was huge in the NY, NJ and PA area during the 60s up to the early 2000s. Things started to change and the new generation in this area was not into drag racing like it did back then. Great times! You would drive 30-40 miles and there would be 200-300 shops devoted to building race cars. Now, you’re lucky if they are a handful of the Speed shops like back then.
Yes. He did!!! He had 2 of them both maroon. 67 and 68. He ran an Amoco Gas station on the corner of East 3rd St and Franklin Ave. He was my original inspiration for getting into drag racing. May He RIP.
@douglasjames1538 I love those Pinto engines. BTW Mr. Jackson's good friend and racing team mate Clarence Davenport passed away a few weeks ago he was 88 years old. I'm not sure if you knew him.
Can’t remember but I’m sure I met him. Spent a lot of time looking up to fast Eddie , and the boys on grammaton avenue with the Buick wild cat. All the old street racers were good to young guys
@@douglasjames1538 The guys with the Wildcat, Warcat racing are alive and doing well. They moved to Atlanta suburbs. The Wildcat was totalled 25 years ago in a racing accident. They are definitely great men for sure.
sorta funny watching his guys ducking the camera in my neighborhood only a few reasons to duck a camera and you did more than one thing to have the need to duck cameras and pictures and its not from kickin puppies
The Interviewer Asking Questions Like He The FEDS 🤔🤔🤔🤔😳😳😳😳 Like He Preparing For A RICO . People I Know Statue Of Limitations Have Passed Before The Dumb Comments Start 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️😂🤣😭😂🤣😭

Wow, that's a serious car for an 85 year old ! That whole scene would have been unreal back then....a low 10 on the street in '69 !!
I remember a FAST EDDIE JACKSON ran a short stroke small block Camaro in the seventies . Ran out of a gas station shop in Mt Vernon NY
Yes. He did!!! He had 2 of them both maroon. 67 and 68. He ran an Amoco Gas station on the corner of East 3rd St and Franklin Ave. He was my original inspiration for getting into drag racing. May He RIP.
Yes,he was a really nice guy to a kid wanting to build a fast 4 cylinder pinto. Good advice
@douglasjames1538 I love those Pinto engines. BTW Mr. Jackson's good friend and racing team mate Clarence Davenport passed away a few weeks ago he was 88 years old. I'm not sure if you knew him.
