There were a number of things that contributed to Glenn Pushis popularity as a teenager, but cruising his 1970 Oldsmobile 442 on the streets near his Downers Grove, Illinois home was at the top of the list. After idling around for a bit, he went wide-open throttle at the race track, and eventually, in 97, he introduced the car to the Outlaw Street Car Association's True Street ranks, where he...

Because his father was into race cars and racing, Donnie Edmonds spent more time at dragstrips and dirt tracks than anywhere else as a child in Cincinnati, Ohio, and because he, too, was into race cars and racing, he couldn't wait to climb into a 67 Chevelle when he turned 16. He would take it to a road by a river and get a little heavy on the throttle, and then he would try to talk his way ou...

After racing junior-dragsters for seven years, Shawn Finn bought a 69 Corvette at the age of 15 and was driving it on the streets near his Brooklyn, New York home soon after. It was fun for a while, but because he had racing in his blood, he decided three years ago to turn the car into a track terror, and began by outfitting it with a 25.3 chrome moly cage. He then installed leafsprings and...

  In the blink of an eye, the equivalent of 1/3 of a second of precious time. It is a testament of how quickly life can change. As racers, the Dina Parise Racing team can certainly attest to that, but accidents happen in everyday life just the same. Lives become disrupted as in the case of 20-year-old Katy Daniel. Her story: On Mother's Day 2016 Katy was involved in a horrific, life alt...

While George Rumore liked baseball and basketball while growing up on Long Island, New York, he liked cars and car parts a bit more, and would often forego the former to spend more time around the latter.
