Line 86: Young carriage drivers raced one another along Woodward Avenue after the roadway was converted from logs to planks in 1848. They placed bets on each other's carriages while racing from tavern to tavern.<ref name=whitall/> By 1958, the roadway was used for unofficial street racing with cars. The wide width, median and sections lacking a large commercial presence attracted a reputation for the competition. The numerous [[drive-in]]s, each with its dedicated local teenaged clientele, were also popular. Woodward had numerous car dealerships and automobile accessory shops in the age of the [[muscle car]] which completed the formula for young adults to "[[Cruising (driving)\|cruise]]", race and hang out along the road.<ref>{{cite book \|last = Genat \|first = Robert \|year = 2010 \|title = Woodward Avenue: Cruising the Legendary Strip \|location = North Branch, Minnesota \|publisher = CarTech Books \|page = 90 \|isbn = 978-1-932494-91-4 \|oclc = 505927336 }}<!--{{harvp\|Genat\|2010\|p=90\|ps=.}}--></ref> The Woodward Dream Cruise takes place on Woodward Avenue between Pontiac and Ferndale during August of each year, evoking nostalgia of the 1950s and 1960s, when it was common for young drivers to cruise with their cars on Woodward Avenue~~<ref>{{Cite web \|title=Cruise History \|url=https://www.woodwarddreamcruise.com/about/cruise-history/ \|access-date=2023-07-05 \|website=Woodward Dream Cruise}}</ref>~~.
