60'-70's Vintage Oval Track Modifieds

Not modifieds, but the voice may be familiar. I slapped together the "slideshow". And, yes, I gave away the ending.

No thanks to me, thank all the guys who raced, their crews, the promoters, the fans and the photographers that captured every photo, they are the ones who deserve the thanks. I'm just here helping pass along the stories that are told from the past. Keep history alive! But your welcome from me, for posting them

 

The #71 supermodified was built and owned by the Austin Bros. from Rochester, NY. Ray Sand drove the car from mid '72 - early '75 when it was sold to Cicero, NY's Jimmy Winks. Jim sold the car after 1975 and then it disappeared into oblivion, as so many race cars do. -Don Kranz photo

 

Jackie Wilson must be the last guy to wear a Sam Brown belt.. I like them very much but the local tracks banned them in the early 60s..This is the latest date photo I ever recall of seeing one..

 

Gerry Chamberlain and Buzzie Reutimann, approx. 1972

 

Here's Richie in Florida.

 

Hi,

Who's driving the No. VO Gremlin in post No. 8865?

Thanks,
JB

PS: Forgive me, RomanFan, but I dropped your cool Evans Mercury pics into Photoshop to see if I could make them bigger and fix the color. Hope you don't mind...

 

love that last shot!

 

haha...look at the Genesee steel can on the hauler fender of Ritchie photo..."Our one brewery makes it best"...or "Naturally more refreshing"?.

 

daveww1,
Thanks for the great pictures. What club is this? It does not look like Garden State.

looks like Pa., the place they do jalopy showdown.

 

found these two shots of danbury yesterday, 1 st you can see them racing larger cars around the moat.

2nd self explanatory. Was there a lot of accidents? Any boats leave the moat?
