gwj78025 Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Wasn't Jackie Woosley the driver that went over the fence in turn 1 with Bill White at MeyerSpeedway and got hurt real bad? I want to say he was driving a yellow #8 supermodified.I don't think he ever raced after the wreck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midget 85 Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Regarding the photos above ( post # 716 ) the Blue 7 was Blumrick and he ran the Frizzel Pontiac Modified for sometime but I specifically remember the car painted Blue for whatever reason in 1967. Â All years before and after the car was Black and White. Â Can't remember why or the reason it was Blue for one season only. In 1968 it was painted back to Black and White..

xzgqh6 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 More Modifieds from Red Garner #14 Modified - 1964-65 #54 Modified - 1967 The famous Falcon Fendered Modified 1968-69 The Falcon bodied car - was that really a Supermodified? How did they let him run against the Modifieds? This was the 1st of the Super mods for Meyer speedway. This was the NASCAR version that stated the car had to be made of an Ameerican made body. Most of the other Mod drivers just cut there bodies down in size and raced there old modifieds in 1967 and 68. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorcoranSuperMod Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Questions regarding the Falcon bodied car; Was it tube framed ? What were the modified rules at Meyer regarding bodies and frames at that time? I seem to remember at a number of tracks a modified car had to have a recognizable American body and no tube frames, otherwise it was a super. BUT I will admit to reaching the stage of remembering, seeing, hearing things no one else does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xzgqh6 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 The main framerails had to be from an American made production car. I will have to ask dad what these were because I do not remember. The body also had to be American production and could be cut down as long as they were not wider then the frame. In this case dad took 4 1962 Ford Falcon fenders butted them side to side end to end and made the A and B pillers out of sheet metal with the roof being made out of a piece of Buick trunk. As I stated in a previous post Ed Hamlin the promoter from Meyer speedway told Dad that he could not race this car because it was Billy Perrins USAC Sprinter. Dad told Ed that they would prove him wrong. The next week Billy brought the sprint car out and DAD had the 4 falconed fendered car on the trailer behind the sprint car. Ed allowed the car to race and it set the track record and won won over 20 features that year (1968). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakdad Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 David, I think your dad told me that he used some kind of Pontiac frame flipped upside down. He should step in here and clear this up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
