Just like 188th street it's been torn down and condos are there now.

Thanks. I love hearing about the history up here. I vaguely remember the Race Rock on Gratiot. It would be great to see some pics and hear some stories over the winter.

Ratman,

Thanks for posting these pics. Do you know anything about the striped starfire, I'm pretty sure it is my boat.

Thanks - Marshall

That is the same Mag, it was running Volvo drives & 302 smallblock Chevy's. Russ Zablocki ordered it that way to run the smaller APBA P class back in 1976.

Great thread guy's I live in St Clair Shores, MI. I had no idea that Race Rock was a bar on the water or that we had so many race boats there. Cool pictures and again great information about our area!

Didn't the old Shipping channel resturant have several names? Like Brownies on the bay and Buccunneer's etc..? If so J the Sunsation rally used to stop there until it was torn down for the condos. Maybe you will remember that?
