    I'm not sure but they use to race inside the Chicago Amphitheater back in the day.

    Uncle I believe that is an elevated highway above them. Similar to the highways of Brooklyn and Chicago.

    Yes you are correct. I looked a little closer and realized it is a bridge. I have seen a bunch of pics from the Chicago Amphitheater where they raced inside. Back in the 70's we did swap meets inside there and it was scary just to drive your truck thru there.

    Looks like the blue pro street car got deleted. Sometimes I wonder just how much work the moderators do behind the scenes to clean things up on a regular basis with out most people even knowing.

    Looks like it might have a smaller diameter steering wheel too. So it's power steering by arm strong unless the owner has some type of power assist steering upgrade.

    My old pal Clyde picked this unfinished 1957 Corvette Gasser a couple years ago. He and his brother Larry finished it up and had it in the basement of Autorama this year.
