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 compe***ion 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 cl***. I was 12 years old in 1971 and this was the best time of my life!

 

They had at least 2 ch***is 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 ch***is 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.

 

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