OT- What I raced- 4 pics

[bams50]

This is the biggest weekend of the year where I last raced, Oswego Speedway- home of the world's fastest short track cars. Not Studes, but gives an idea of what I come from...

Here's two "Small block supers" (The 10 already has a "trailer tire" on the RF)





That's the class where I did the bulk of my (pavement) racing; my brother still does. The 93 is his car.

Here's a "Supermodified"



They run 2 classes- with a wing (pictured) and without. 1850 lbs with driver.

Supermodified engine:



Chevy, 467 cu. in., aluminum heads, Kinsler F.I. on alcohol. direct-drive with in/out box. With wing (5/8 mile oval)- 15-16 second laps, approx. 135MPH average, approx. 155 top speed[]

Spent the weekend watching- and thinking about coming out of retirement next year.......

Hmmm... Now I understand the reckless, high speed driving in Molly at the Test Track in SB! No wonder you lost a hubcap.

You don't know the half of it! With the wing on, at speed, it tries to suck your helmet straight up[]

Well, if we're going to share our dirty laundry...[)]

This was my SCCA Improved Touring B Suzuki Swift GTi. Never won any races and never finished last. But there was a lot of fun with the other 35 cars somewhere in the middle. I also won 3rd Place Production Road Racer at the Detroit Autorama in 1998.

WOW Bob, looks like you've got it going on!

A couple of our club members, build race cars. The one below was built by Lee Harrison that his son drives. Here is it in his shop under my 52 Commander.



And this one is built and maintained by Herman Gantt who has a Corvette powered 53 Starlight,

Leonard- the car under yours in the pic is called an IMCA modified around here; drove one of those a little also.

Matthew- my driving wasn't reckless at the PG- no one told me stock Stude wheels would throw a hubcap at only 108 MPH... now I know!

What happened to Dave's post? Lots of info and pics, all gone[V]

How about the rest of you- done any racing?
