I meant by my own recollection as to when he made the trip. I didn't have my license yet in 1978, so I tagged along with my brother. So I was...
Does anyone remember Troyer making a northeast swing one weekend in the 70's ? I'm talking about a Stafford/Seekonk/Thompson trip. I wonder if it...
Yes it was a Pinto. I remember reading that now.
True. George Savory always had a nice clean wagon. Was the T-5 a Vega wagon ? I thought someone mentioned it wasn't. [IMG]
Chevrolet did have two versions of the Vega. The sedan had a trunk lid and the fastback had a hatch. There was a very small difference, but...
Very odd. Yellow helmet. Car on the left is renumbered on the door. Car on the right, renumbered on the roof. [IMG] [IMG]
Looks like it may be renumbered #8. Maybe the tape was for recognition for a scorer ? Just a guess. Ganassi will paint his Target rear wing...
I read all the bitching about low payouts. Only 26 mods showed up for this race. It was open to all modifieds, as long as you conformed to the...
I must have been at this show because I remember Bugsy driving a NEMA midget. Second place in a Fusco. It was 10-3-76. He was also wearing his...
Probably the old " I only drive the car. I don't know what they did. " I guess some of the regular drivers felt like he was toying with them....
I know the big complaint is low paying tracks for the modifieds. Well Seekonk Speedway is having their annual Open Wheel Wednesday tonight. 100...
Thanks for the youtube link. I didn't get cable in my area until 1983 or so.
Al Shutt 1979 Daytona. I've never heard of him, or have I seen this car. Any info ? [IMG]
Orange Crate super. 1979 ? [IMG]
Don Diffendorf – New York State Fair 1971 “The Flying Cockroach” S/360, with Diff at the wheel, sprouts a “wing”...
Geez. I read the results wrong. He lasted longer than I thought. Yeah, 143 sounds a lot better.
Geoff's night. You would think wheel bearings would last more than 6 laps.:rolleyes:
Thanks for the clarification on the Pinto revolution Bones. Seekonk was my local track when I was younger. From 1970 thru the early 80's. When...
According to this, Bob Judkins wasn't the first Pinto bodied modified. Or should I say, NASCAR legal Pinto. Just an interesting observation. The...
Lou Funk Mopar. I always thought this was a late model forced to run with the mods at Thompson. I know a few used to tag the rear of the field now...
I used to love the " Run what ya brung " shows.
Found more mods with super wings. These were posted back on page 42. [IMG] [IMG]
Indy Bones, I read somewhere that you may have some info on this Dover car. [IMG]
Damn. Those are expensive. Good luck.
I know Geoff ran against the supers one year. I think he put on 18" wide tires also. I'm going to say it was for one of the World Series events. I...
Here's a Cal Custom from ebay....
Here's the site. The race event is not specified though. http://www.racingthroughtime.com/ARCHIVES/MAR11/3-30-11.htm
Evans and Bodine running wings at Thompson in Nov. of '78. [IMG] [IMG]
