Seems he had no problem with them as a promoter back then either. Liked them so well I believe he ran two classes of them each week.

where ya been all winter cooter? see you at the spring 50 ????

No but it sure would get your attention seeing Granny toss her in there.

Ditto!!

And a "Banjo Housing" was a ? Bob

I prefer: "Real racecars don't have fenders!"

Out here in California some of us like to take it a step further and call them "Tijuana Taxi Cab's".....You can find some Taxi's in Mexico that look like they've been through a whole season of fender bangin' racing on some dirt track somewhere

If you remember Merrill(sp?), we had a great class of Late Models back then. Ross Smith (near the end of his career), Charlie Sentmann(sp?), Gary Herbert, Dan Polking, Dan Rink, Vern LeFevre, Bobby Carnes, Donny Matlin, Denny Martini, Jerry Hess, Pierce Foster, Len Spille et. al.....I also let them run sprint car wings and they put on a great show! In 1980 I was averaging 19 late models a week and by 1982 we were averaging 39-45 per week. The 2nd year I had the track, Terry Eaglin called me and asked if I would start a street stock class. I told him it would have to be an amateur or, semi-amateur class (I gave him whatever money signed in on the pit sign-up sheets for that class as a purse) that ran after the Lates and Sprints (heats during intermission). That developed into a fun class also, and we drew about 25 of them per week. Yes, the "Taxi-cabs" were a vital part of our show......
