Staging Lanes STANDING ROOM ONLY Racing in front of a throng of fans and supporters at what is considered the original “no-prep” race, Team Black’s Al Gonzalez (near lane) successfully defended his King of the Streets (KOTS) Spring 2016 Jr. class title earlier this year, driving his ‘70.5 Camaro to the final-round win over Tim Leech in his boosted LS-powered Trans Am. Gonzalez’s Camaro, a true leaf spring car powered by a Induction Solutions-equipped 402ci BBC, charged toward the finish line while Leech lost traction, got out of shape and tagged the wall with the front end.
