Last Year of Modified? Question

[Jimmy Smith]

Hello Adger and can the Blue Oval or anyone know the where abouts of C.J.Batten? I saw a inquiry about him on another site and I remember the name and know he was a Ford Guru but did not know him personaly. This thread brought back a lot of memories. When I ran the Greenville Ms. Track we would have Don Peek, Mansell & Minga, Buddy Bennett, Willis Ragsdale ,Sanford (Sleepyhead) Bolan,With a Hemi and 4 speed in a Street Roadster and a host of other guys that were semi local. That was fun. Later J.Smith 4621 racing

CJ Batten ceased producing the Oldsmobile Batten heads and intakes, as well as other Oldsmobile stuff, about 5 years or more ago. He was selling some of the stuff on ebay a while back. I saw him the last year he had a booth at the PRI Show a few years back. Maybe 8 years or so ago.
