When I was 18 I raced a '79 Corvette in my '80 Z/28 right down Lakeshore Rd. in Oakville in front of the old McDonalds. Hundreds of people watching and the guy in the Vette lost it and drove up onto the sidewalk, squeezed between the wall and a thick telephone poll, lost his front left wheel, kept going and the car finally stopped next to a fire hydrant. As I passed his stopped car, he still had the gas to the floor. Fibreglass was everywhere and his wheel continued for another block. Lucky there were no people on that sidewalk.
That was basically the last time I 'raced' someone in town.
