(Photos by BS Forum Member DragBike425) – One of the biggest stories for the upcoming Spring and Summer car show season is the return of the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals to Du Quoin. This show was the place to see and be seen in the Pro Street obsessed world of the 1980s. Sure, most of these cars couldn’t idle around a fairground without going into Chernobyl melt down but damn they were cool! We’ve heard countless stories of vintage Pro Street cars being dug up, sought out, or freshened up to get back to this iconic show. Amazingly, BangShift forum member DragBike425 recently started posting bits and pieces of his huge photo collection from the Street Machine Nationals back in the 1980s! All of the icons are here or will be here in several of the follow up galleries we’re going to run. In this collection you’ll see Rod Saboury, Scott Sullivan, Dobbertin, Hayes, and on and on and on. All of those names that dominated the magazine pages in the 1980s and had guys like me lusting after some huge tired, over blowered pile of awesome to own the world with. These were truly the cars that I went to sleep dreaming about and Chad did too.
Chad’s Note: HOLY CRAP THIS IS AWESOME!!!! I can’t stand it. Screw racing my Nova, this thing needs to be about 6 inches lower and have way more power adders. I’m in love. PRO STREET RULES. This is the closest thing to porn we’ve ever put on the site. I’m going to need a moment alone.
This first collection is about 60 photos. DragBike tells us that he has 400-500 to post! We’ll be back with regular installments!
