Bangin' Gears & Bustin' Heads

Bangin' Gears & Bustin' Heads

In the late 1950â€™s, a teenagerâ€™s most coveted item was a driverâ€™s license. It gave every 16 year-old relative freedom, but it also gave some teens a permit to do stupid things with, what amounted to, a four-wheeled weapon.

In a small Midwestern town, that license was a way to explore surroundings, an opportunity to show off and, for a few, akin to signing a death certificate.

When the newness of automobilia in general wore off, the next step was to â€œsoup upâ€ a car. Speed was the game and fearlessness ran rampant: How good a driver were you? How fast could the car go? Seeing how many opponents could be beaten in illegal drag races on the streets and highways were weekend â€œsport,â€ tempered only by carnage left in the wake.
These stories reach back to a time when driverâ€™s licenses and a hopped-up car were easily the most important things in every teenâ€™s lifeâ€¦and the heartache of every parent.
