Anyone remember Pro Street?
 

Yes I know this is a Pro Touring forum, but we all came from somewhere, right?

Here is where I came from...



Scot Payton and Michael Julian from Route 2 Media...thanks for making me look not bad!

Nice video. Pro Street will always be cool

I like it! Take me back to my '66 GTO days draggin' the gut. :thumbsup:

Lots of awesome rides in that video. The video itself was shot really well too. Pro Street definitely isn't my style, but they are bad ass cars for sure! Nothing like a massive engine sticking through the hood with some huge slicks in the back. Always makes you stop and look.

That's awesome stuff Bret! The Stang looks as good now as it did back then. I got to see Scott and the Whiz in Columbus too. I don't care who you are, you liked Pro-Street at some point! :thumbsup:

I still think a nice, nasty sounding pro-streeter is kick-azz!
Nice job Bret!



Jeff-

That's fricken to cool!! I remember when Pro Street first started coming around and then it took off big time..Thanks for sharing

My second Pro Street/Track car

Nice interview.

I remember being a freshman in High School wanting a Beretta to Pro Street as my first car. I didnt even comprehend the difference between front wheel drive and RWD at the time. LOL. Still some really cool cars. If I had the funds I'd do a Modern Pro Street as a long haul cruiser.

Bret,
The video is both informational and inspirational. I enjoyed it. As I watched it, I realized that you are an excellent historian who lived it himself, a visionary and obviously a wise business man all rolled into one friendly person.

I was there this year. I walked right by you sitting next to your cars and chose not to strike up a conversation for fear of "bothering" you.

After watching the video, I'm sure I missed an opportunity for a great conversation.

Next time I'll be sure to introduce myself.

My first car, pro street vega I built in the 80's (in case you couldn't tell!) I still have it and it looks exactly the same, I thought about Pro touring it, thought about modernizing a bit but decided to leave as is. I dont know what i'll ever do with it, but I just cant sell it!:confused18:

Why would you wanna take that POS to the track when you have the Vega?

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Nice Nova! :thumbsup:

I remember the Hot Rod magazine with the Cheese Whiz 55 in it and I probably wore that issue out.

That 56`Chevy was cool!

The future of barnfinds, is tucked away Pro Streets! He..He.. :D

Well, all of them are cool actually :)

I built this Mustang when I was 19 it had a Big Block and BIG tires!! lol eventually it ended up as a full on drag car.

Very cool video, nice job!

I remember in H.S. a co-worker had a pro street 70 chevelle. The first time I saw it I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was definately the "It" thing in the 80's.
Thanks for sharing the video.

No but it's a new combo for us. We tested a couple of weeks ago and I ran 8.06 clicking off at 900'.

Love this thread, love pro street.

Love pro-touring even more.

Keep the pics coming......

Weren't you building that car last year? I also remember your Vega from somewhere... Famoso?? :thumbsup:

I'm seeing double..:confused59: here's my buddies B/G car

I sold this Camaro as a roller and bought that orange Vega.

This artical was with the new owner and his engine. Don't know why he raised the car up.

Yes weve been slowly working on getting our drivetrain (632 Donovan) adapted to it as time permited over the past year or so. It was a sbc B/G car owned by Jerry Jahnsen, were hoping to run A/G with it.
The Vega hasnt been out in a looooong time, at least 10 years probably at Sacramento.

Pro Street.... My first love.
