Does anyone know which version of Maybellene that is in the video? It has the second verse that is always left out in most cuts. I can't find any version of it by Chuck Berry that is that fast or has that verse.

Street racing is worse now than ever with the weaving in and out of traffic and high speeds. Especially ricers and crotch rockets.

Excellent story. I agree, 40-50 years have passed (since the 60's) and still the same problem persists around the country. They can easily say "do it at the track" but that is $25 a shot, plus I think street racers want the fun of "nighttime" racing. They don't want to do it at 1 in the afternoon. They need a 24 hour two lane strip available. Do that and streetracing would end for sure. Great video!

Thank you so much for sharing this fascinating video with us, no way I'd have seen it otherwise!

Big Willie did so much for the promotion of street racing, he and his Charger Daytona appear briefly in the first few minutes of the 1971 movie 'Two Lane Blacktop' too.

Gee, you'd think that the authorities were actually serious about getting street racers off the streets.

More power to Big Willie!
