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!

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!

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:
