60'-70's Vintage Oval Track Modifieds

Great shot of Bud Olsen

Rich I love that series, Richie got a good deal with that one for the chrome horn. Notice we're getting more southern tour mod stuff up. one our photographers from The jam moved down by you, Mike Mercurio, hit him up the jam board, maybe he's your next door neighbor!!!

 

What a great bunch of pictures. Here's what they were running in Southeast Missouri in the mid to late sixties.

I've just come across to links at Coastal 181.com that I thought you would all enjoy. The first in abot Les Ley from Long Island that moved up to Ma. until his untimely death.

The second contains a list of drivers and their nicknames.

This might seem to be a bit O/T but I think not. If you disagree, let me know. No problem.
