Hey M68, do you know if Don Grotheer's '71 Road Runner is still around or not.

Re: Old modified production/gassers photos
 

Nice shot of the "other" DG at one of my all time favorite tracks,,, the gone, but never forgotten Ontario Motor Speedway. The first time I saw the place(in "74), it blew us away as we'd never seen anything like it.

Re: Old modified production/gassers photos
 

Nice shot. The closest I ever got to the Malco Super Vett is the model car kit (of the same car) that a teen friend of mine assembled back in the early-1970s. :)

How many of you longtime drag racers and fans remember Raceway Park regular, Ben Brinkofsky and his Brinkie's Drag Team flathead-powered '52 Ford?

I just noticed this...look at the cop by the brown Chevy Impala (or Caprice). I KNOW you longtime RP racers and fans know this guy. LOL Even though Bernie The Cop was a hard-nosed SOB on the surface, once you got to know him he wasn't such a prick. :) He's probably breaking that kid's balls and asking, "What are all those beers doing in that cooler??" LOL

Re: Old modified production/gassers photos
 

Was this originally a '65 Falcon station wagon made into a panel, or did Ford sell Falcon panel wagons.

Re: Old modified production/gassers photos
 

Nice shots as usual M68...also do you know if the Larry Copp Corvette still around today...maybe it's repainted another color.

Re: Old modified production/gassers photos
 

Thanks. I don't know anything about it. The thought just occurred to me...Larry's Corvette sure looks like the yellow A/MP Corvette that Bob Thompson ran (and won Modified Eliminator at the 1973 Indy Nationals). From the look of wheels, wheelie bars, etc. it sure looks like it.

Re: Old modified production/gassers photos
 

Not your average C Gasser, this car was a bunch of fun...

Re: Old modified production/gassers photos
 

I'm curious what track the upper shot was taken at. Its a div.6 Camaro and thats Ray Rice on the starting line(father of div.7 DD Mike Rice), so I'm guessing a NW track, but its not Bremerton, Pacific, Mission or Medford, if its Woodburn I don't see any buildings in the background. The lower shot is obviously Spokane, back in the AHRA days, as you can tell by the steep, close, concrete grandstands and the class designation on the window.
Deffinately a couple cool old photos.

Re: Old modified production/gassers photos
 

Hi Thanks for asking about my 65 Falcon Sedan Delivery. Yes this is a real Factory Ford Sedan Delivery. They did make them 61to 65. I think in 65 they made maybe 649. Total # for the four years was 6000. I would like to find this car and buy it back. I bought it in PA. in 77. SRD / SW race car did some of the work on it. The people I bought it from had it built to run in F/ Gas. I sold it to people in the Illionios / Ind. area. Loved it but I sold when I bout a Don Hardy Pro Stock Pinto back in 79.
Thanks

Re: Old modified production/gassers photos
 

I like the looks of the cars in the lanes behind the Mopar,,,, kinda looks like WJ's Camaro and right behind it, one of those Malvern Monzas, I'm thinking,, perhaps a little Pro Stock action getting ready to take place?

I think you're thinking right. :) But first let's run off the Modified Eliminator cars. :D

Here's one of my Dad's car. Kenny Rose from Martinsburg, WV. 426 Hemi powered with Hilborn injection. Car was raced mainly at Mason Dixon & 75-80. I'd love to have more pictures of this car.

Re: Old modified production/gassers photos
 

That was taken at the old Edmonton Alberta strip in 77. The corvette in the other lane was Tom Turner.

Re: Old modified production/gassers photos
 

Thanks for the reply,, Brad. Nice job spotting Tommy's Corvette in the other lane.

Re: Old modified production/gassers photos
 

Does it count? Yes and no. :) They were allowed in 'Modified' eliminator when, in the latter half of the 1970s 'til (the category was cancelled in 1981), in a combined Modified/Competition eliminator due to a low turn out of NHRA class legal cars locally. Ditto Stock/Super Stock combo eliminator.
