60'-70's Vintage Oval Track Modifieds

I never realized they tore up so many beautiful stock cars at Danbury.The racing must have been intense. I thought Weissglass was bad,.

 

The Orange 04 taken at Lebanon Valley was Corky Cookman. Corky ran Danbury then went to the Valley then to Nascar Mods,were he lost his life at Thompson Ct.

 

Corky ran the Valley, and Middletown briefly I believe, then came to Danbury.

 

I have some great photos of Danbury... If someone would explain how to get them onto this site!

 

Watched modified mania dvd from ebay. It was pretty good. It had Thompson Plainville eastern states martisville and i thought I seen Denny's #4 car but I wasnt sure.

 

Photobucket.com is what I use, anyone else want to give him advice on posting photos?

 

Danbury Racearena

 

Does anyone have an upper windshield patch panel for a 36 Chevy coupe? I need one to restore my Czarnecki car to its first iteration.
Thanks

 

I am just learning how to post photos, so bear with me! Here is a shot of on of my all time favorites, Billy Sunderland from1972 at the Danbury Racearena! This was a Studebaker bodied modified. It was fluorescent orange with blue flames. Light years before Jeff Gordon made this color combination popular! Billy won two features this year.

 

Well, I kind of figured this out... Now I need to learn how to shrink my originals... Any hints?

 

great stuff so far Fish, welcome aboard!

 

Thanks Bullfather! I just need figure out how to shrink to fit them!

 

Billy Sunderland's Opel Kadett bodied modified (There weren't many of those around!). I think the year was 1976 at the Racearena.

 

also the threaded driver side front tire?

 

Believe it or not, Billy grooved that tire himself, and it lasted a complete season!

 

Great photos Fishburger. Keep 'em coming. Use Photoshop to resize them.
