Down here in the south, they called supermodifieds "skeeters" back in the early and mid 60's. Besides the Alabama gang, there were other great drivers that ran supers, Hooker Hood, Ellis Palasini, Ival Cooper, Freddy Friar and his brother out of Chattanooga, open wheel racing was pretty hot down here for a while. Donnie Allison held the track record for years at the Huntsville(AL) Speedway, well into the 80's, in a super.
