I use to do allot of street racing, when I was younger, before I got smart & graduated to the race track exclusively, too much to loose on a street race, I traveled the west coast to street race, for some big {for me anyway} money many times, mostly in the Northern & Southern Calif. areas in the mid 70's -80's, the biggest problem I see is the short stories about a street race, will only take a single page to two pages max or so even double spaced, unless it's fictional & is highly embellished or lies, unless maybe you start the story from conception of the project, car or trip, or maybe give a detailed background story on every character/subject, they won't be very long stories otherwize... There are a few stories already here on FBBO, won't make for a book thou, unless it's a very short book, more like a page per story max & 100+ stories... I thought of writing a book about all the street racing in the Concord, Walnut Creek area of the East Bay of NorCal S.F. Bay Area, you would need to use fictitious names on some of the stories or just 1st names, most people didn't know, or remember someones last name, or don't want their names used, you would need permission, mostly they remembered the cars, sometimes racing 3 nights a week 1 night in Concord, 1 night in Walnut Creek, 1 night in either Pittsburgh, Antioch, Fairfield, Modesto or Sacramento, even in my early years H.S. years in Shingle Springs, Diamond Springs, Placerville, Auburn & Georgetown foothill areas, that's all just in central NorCal for years at-least 74-87 or so, then I grew up, raced at the track, some guys never did... Good luck, Have fun writing the book, that's just my thoughts on the subject...
