Couldn't swear to it but I am sure my first race would have been super modifieds at Sportsman's Speedway in Marshall, Missouri sometime in the late 1950s early 1960s. My dad would have been in the pits turning wrenches and my mom and me would have been in the stands.
I am sure my 1st sprint race would have been Missouri State fairgrounds. I remember stories of them changing tail tanks and took off the cages and bolted on a hoop to run as sprint cars.
I do remember when if they had a sprint car tank they had to tape a box or something on the tail tank to run the Missouri State Modified Championship during the state fair
