They'll all feel like they've got no place to go. Here in the heart of Ohio, where the roads are broad and straight as an arrow, street racing is very much alive. Blown big blocks and 9000 rpm small blocks are becoming a dime a dozen. Racing is at such a feverish pitch here in Ohio that race car builders have a several month backlog. Several car clubs exist in the city and during the warmer months, cruises and car shows of several hundred vehicles are held about once a month. We have the Spring Nats which floods the town with racing fans and their pride and joys. Last summer we had a car show which drew over 7000 cars and trucks. That leads to a lot of cruising and racing. > > Fascinating. Could you give more details? Which car types rule, i.e. big block Chevys, Hemi's? Where is the racing done? How much money?
