Re: More Modified Video - 1978
Nothing will ever replace those high winding modified cars of the past, those guys where drivers, the crew all wrapped up in one.
I'll always remember my days watching modified and helping my father run it and running around with Virgil Cates when he ran A/G also.

Re: More Modified Video - 1978
Man, that was great!! Thank you!!
I was there with my C/SM '69 Camaro. Lost a clutch, didn't even make 1st round. That car broke stuff until it broke me. Does anybody know if Pete Smith is still with us? He was another one of my favorite racers. Very nice guy.

Ed,
Heard he is living somewhere around the Conroe area. The Emmons Brothers know for sure. |

Re: More Modified Video - 1978
Good to hear Todd. Thanks. Good driver, good guy. Pete sure didn't mind zinging that thing up on the starting line. I loved watching him and several others.

Re: More Modified Video - 1978
ESPN should take a look at those videos. More exciting than watching pro stock today...dave doing the commentary..the way it was filmed made them look like they were going faster than they were and it was really fun to watch....I don't get it with them not airing sportsman shows today but i guess when you watch them now they make them look boring.....man did they put on a show back then...too bad I was too young and missed all the fun.
