Super91 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I haven't had much luck (to be precise, no luck) searching for the 100" offset supermodified that lost its way somewhere in the Houston area. However, I found a couple of photos recently that might be of interest to someone in the Houston area. The 1st one is from Playland Park 1951 with M.J. Burton (Left) and Don Burton (Right) The 2nd is also from 1951 Playland Park with Ray Steffens (Left) winner of the passenger car race, M.J. Burton (Center) winner of the modified race and promoter Ray Lavely (Right). The 3rd is obviously a scanned photo and this may have already appeared in the forum. If so, I apologize for the redundancy Mike Pogue Claremore, OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, Del I have a page of stuff but don't know how to post or send it. Jim, Ol' Bronco # 8 Jim, The 3rd pic is definitly Meyer Spdwy, late '60s, maybe '67 or '68. My guess would be, from the pole, George Nash, Jackie Woosley, Ronnie Chumley, Billy Perran, and Bill White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakdad Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Yep, Definately George on pole. I didn't remember if Billy was driving Red's car at this time. Good catch................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midget 85 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Jim, I would say that Meyer photo would be 1968 due to some of the new body styles that started poppin up in 68. I would say the outside pole is Walter Ballard's 48' Ford cut down and it was painted dark green in it's second year ( 68 ). It was a light mettalic Green in 67.. Woolsly's modified was a 48 Chevy.. That big escape hole in the back of Ballard's car prooved to be efficient for Walter later on.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely it is the Walter Ballard Modified from that era. The Jackie Woosley modified GM sedan Modified Stock Car was raced in '66, and after that I don't remember the Batmobile, as it was called.

Midget 85 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Larry, If I'm not mistaken the Batmobile ran through 67' and after that I don't remember seeing it again. Ballard's modified disappeared also by the end of 68' season. Woosley began driving the yellow Edmond style body #8 if my memory serves me right in 69. The time passes quickly and so does my memory.. I'm pretty sure the year is correct however. I just recall seeing the old coupes beginning to diappear in 68-69 Loved the old coupes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
