60'-70's Vintage Oval Track Modifieds

It was July 1972 that Anthony brought the modifieds to Seekonk and cancelled the ARC cars. I built an ARC car with Norm Holden for the 1972 season and the car was useless to run at Seekonk once the swich was made.

I don't know if the photo was a 3 wide start but it appears to be an open competition event which is why the "Seekonk" cars have their hoods off. It may have been the 1971 fall final which was Columbus Day weekend.

 

Willie as soon as I figure out how to make my pictures larger I have more
of your father.

 

anyone got any more shots of this wild ride?

 

Post 8075 the #7 Baracuda belonged to poster "modified driver" . Hager, you are now immortalized.

 

Louis Haggith at South Buxton, Ontario, Canada around 1970 - 72 . They ran a /34 Ford with a 300 ci. straight six in Sportsman class. I was 12 years old in 1971 and this was the best time of my life!

 

They had at least 2 chassis that I am aware of and if I remember correctly, Eddie ended up with everything. I did recently hear from some one that Bill "disposed" of the cars, but all these years I was told Eddie got the whole deal. If any readers know the real deal, please do tell.

 

You're a long way ahead of me. I haven't figured out how to put pictures on here @ all lol

 

1st photo is Atlantic City Speedway in Pleasantville N.J. Closed in 1978

Hey, that yellow and gold #7 'Cuda is ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

That picture was taken in my back yard. Where did ya' get this pic from????

I have one of the originals in my personal photo album.

In the pic it has a small block Chevy. I changed to a 454 big block Chevy.

That was a good car. I made a bunch of money with it .

I remember Spadaro working on this car a few times with me when he was nuttin' .

Obviously he went on to bigger and better things .

And me? Now I'm nuttin' .

By the way, I have several build pics of that car. We be talkin' a real old-time chassis build.

 

Just started reading "Steady Eddie" by Bones Bourcier

 

found it on facebook I believe lol what are the odds it's you! what are you working on this winter? I know you got a few toys in that garage.....maybe a cuda mod again???? that mod was sweet looking

 

Don't think I posted this yet. The year is about 1969 and this is the #98 coupe of Nick Thomas perhaps on his way to Ascot Park Gardena or Speedway 605 in Irwindale for some figure-8 races.

 

Dick gave a shout out for you on your Cuda, Modified Driver. You must have caught it. Sharp ride fore sure.
