Your correct Doc, i was raised on a farm, every friday, sat, and some what on sunday we were cruising around town. Also on Thursday nights during football season. Gas was about 20 cents a gal, but that was a lot in my area, not alot of extra cash. We would all concentrate at a local Dairy queen type of place, a drag race would be set up and we would all leave a go and park out of town on a strip of hwy and watch the races. Much like American graffiti but a much smaller town. Back then there was a lot of underage drinking and driving, the police let you slide for the most part, they may take your beer and follow you home etc. Not sure how i lived thur those times,had a lot of close calls.
