byron Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 A little help for you Norman. There are a few pictures on a fotki site, Ricky Sinard Collection, Corpus Christie Area Racing. On page 7, the only ones I am sure of are the number 51 sedan body car of my friend George Larue and the number 28 of Richard Cooper. Also Roy Harling raced with the Texas Super Sprinters he had a yellow number 2. You can access the albums from any of txtom posts, just click on racing pics at lower left. I hope this helps a little, thanks:Byron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danielsen Motorsports Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I ran with them one year right before it desolved due to lack of tracks and races. However the group did run a long time with lots of good drivers. I learned alot and the experience inspired me to create the TOBA series. Kent Lewis both Sr. and Jr., Crazy Cooper, Glen Devore, Denny Burton, Jerry Cox, a Young preWOO driver Jason Johnson came over a couple times and tied it on with Denny Burton. Tons and tons more drivers ran in the class. They did make trips to Waco, Corpus, Edna, Goliad, San Antonio both asphalt and dirt, Beaumont, and several Louisiana trips.

fasternu97 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 I don't remember everyone, but Mike Plowman drove the #47 Nance Super Sprinter for us in the early eighties while I drove our #44 Skinny Car at Big H. Sure wish I could find some video of the Supers and the Skinnys. I've asked Gil several times, but no luck yet. David McKinney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfbarnes Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Here's a little something I put together dedicated to my friend and fellow racer, we bumped wheels more than once and still laugh about it today, watching cars We own and are too old to drive, do the same stuff we did 30+ years ago.
