I remember coming home from the military just after the peak of this era. I remember the groups like APG and SWAT although I was not a member nor did I think I was allowed to join with a stock looking GTP. It was a good time then when people used to cruise the avenue from Downtown Albany all the way to State St. Schenectady.
You could find a race just about anywhere after 11pm. Route 7, Central Ave, Route 20, Route 9, all used to be awesome cruise routes. Some of the most fun I had was when we all drove 13 - 14 second cars.
I remember meeting you at the lot for the first time back then too as a matter of fact. I think that was the first time I mustered up the balls to pull in and say hi! :skid
