        Muscle car street racer from the late 60s..

              Other.

              Hot rodder/ street racer from the 50's.

              When I think of the word "cool" I pretty much think of the cool guys from that era. Grease... American Graffiti...

                50's street racer/hot rodder, but with the knowledge of today...like shootin' fish in a barrel.

                  Other, I would have liked to be in on the ground floor of the fastest street car racing back in the early 90s.

                      I'm thinking late 60's Super Stock/Modified Production guy, eventually morphing into the early days of Pro Stock.

                        Chip Foose has a pretty cool gig and seems to be a legit cool guy. But to travel back in time It would be hard to beat Mickey Thompson.

                          I'd be Mark Donohue racing the Javelins in the Trans Am series
                          Rumors of my demise by rollover have been greatly exaggerated.

                              I'd say Roadracing in the 60's. ;)
                              Just think beating the hell out of NEW Cobras, Cheetahs, Scarabs, early Can AM cars... along with the birth of the TransAM cars.
                              That era was setting new ground with each year, inventing new things as they went.
                              Think of the difference between the caveman engineering of the '50's and significantly modernized 70's technology.
                              It seems to me the 60's was where many of the 'modern' technology was born. Must have been an exciting time.

                              In the motorcycle Roadracing world the 80's were incredible, in the early 80's the best sport bike you could buy would have been a KZ1000 with skinny tires and bendy frame. By the end of that decade you could go out and get a fully developed road race tool like a Honda RC30, Ducati 851, etc.

                                30's-40's Hot Rodder, when you broke out a welder and grinder when it was time to modify things.
