60'-70's Vintage Oval Track Modifieds

I only found this old picture of you. Im on the hunt for your #66 car that you drove at Norwood and Catamount? Steve

 

Another one #66 Denny Zimmerman and the J-2 Red Foote.

 

The Bouvrette Speedway was located in St Jerome, abour 30 mins North of Montreal. St. Chrysostome, QC is slightly south of Quebec city, so about 3 hours sepperate the 2.

I agree I race in a vintage modified and have a slant back open hauler, most get to the track in an enclosed trailer, and bring along enough spares to rebuild the car, back then when you had a few spare tires, maybe a rad, and a spring or 2 you were well equipped. Please follw this link for more pics of the Bouvrette Speedway

 

Looks Like Billy Layda, Rick Donnelly & Tony Papale playing in the sand....

 

My favorite picture is Ernie Gahan #15, Billy Slater and Red Foote against the wall for a 123 finish. Red Foote in one of the early days with a Tri-power Y Block power 37 ford at Waterford Ct. Speedbowl.

 

Yep! You scored 100% on this quiz!

 

ridin dirty, That's the car, now we need a shot of it so we can see "JUDITH ANN" written across the top of the windshield. Good work, keep trying. Denny Z

 

I remember from my younger days, when indeed many of the "late models", such as '56-'60 Fords and Chevys were "flat towed" to the track. (must have been fun, with a locked rear end, and 2-3" of stagger) What puzzled me, however, was how you got the car home if you were an unfortunate victim of a major pile up...

Leadfoot 4
If they ran a 3/4 rear they pulled the axles, or they could be running a posi track
rearend, and ran two normal wheels on the back.<!-- / message -->

 

leadfoot4, My first two years (57 and 58) I flat towed. I would put street tires on so the locked rear wasn't much of a problem. BUT....if you crashed that was a problem, I had to leave my car at Seekonk one night and drive back home (Glastonbury CT)to get a front axel then drive all the way back and make repairs. No fun.

Being a Maynard Troyer fan for many years, I especially liked the radical #17 he built for Jim Sousey, & drove for a while, I found these pictures of the #13 Cavalier that had a similar paint job & clean appearance. I recall this immaculate car running at Spencer Speedway, & Shangri-La in the early 80's. I believe it was built by Dave Nichols. Does anybody remember the driver...

 

Norwood Arena Feature Win $2000 and was protested for exceptional fuel mileage.

Found this Denny Zimmerman Video on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTU17DVeMMU

 

I would love to see some details on the 36 Chevy on page 76 of the April Circle Track Magazine. I saw the email a few pages ago but can't find any specifics on the car. I'm working on a street car with a Modified theme to it and this thread has been awesome for ideas.

Oh, I think they identify it as a 32 Chevy in the caption but clearly that's not the origin.

 

Just go back a few pages (maybe 5 or 10) and get all the details

 

Yep post 8411. I didn't see the pics yet but I will find them. thanks
