Our record for the 22 mile trip door to parking space, yes we had rules, was 22 minutes. We were doing like 80 mph on the Palisades Parkway and 80/95. High school kids...What are ya gonna do

Early/mid eighties. My earliest memories are of the Beatcha/Genghis Khan rivalry and Duenna's Hambletonian (I think 1982?). Durkin called the races then. We went all the time in high school- then to Yonkers when Meadowlands would close after the Hambo. Our record to the Meadowlands was 17 minutes from Wayne.
