CorcoranSuperMod Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Who can put a driver name with the 191 Ford. Back to the jalopies one last time: The GMC powered # 8 was owned by Gene Snook and driven by Leo Kettle ( later turned flagman ). The next three years saw a pretty amazing advancement of these cars. Going to take a break with the photos. for a while. Thanks for the interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garrettracecars(grc) Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 The 75 car, previously posted as a mystery car, has popped up on my radar as Sonny Vigeon of Beaumont. The little 10 car is six cylinder Ford powered. A few of these were very competitive on the short tracks. The far left car is probably Kenneth Clary, later of Moody/Clary Speedway. A different kind of mod: A 68 "run what you brung " at Moody/Clary. The skinny cars were a type of modified that ran at HOT and Thunderbird during the time. They were pretty outclassed at this venue, but most promoters were reluctant to turn away any car that would fill a few seats. If fifty showed up, fifty ran . The safety aspect of the thousand pound weight difference never occurred to me until about twenty years later. any one know who was driving the #72 skinny car that day? I remember the car running here in WACO but not who was the driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
