Dad drove more than just Super Modified's. A Hudson Hornet, Midgets, Indy Roadster, '63 Ford in the Daytona 500, etc. As far as the Gold #11 Super Modified, it was a small block Chevy. That car won over 53 features and set 21 new track records. I'm not aware of Woody using Studebaker engines, even though Studebaker also used some Chevy engines.

Watched Mr. Good several times at the old South Anthony track in Ft. Wayne. This track used to run mid-week (Tues or Wed) and usually had full fields of cars. I don't think the supermodifieds had evolved from the coupes when I attended in the early 1950's. Mostly full bodied coupes and sedans. I think the supers started sometime around the mid to late 1950's but I could be dead wrong as I am so old I can't remember for sure what happened this morning!!!!!!

Dick Good drove the gold #11 @ Toledo in the early 60's with spectacular success. I am sure glad I was able to see him run in person.

Saw him win a 100 lapper at the old 1/4 mi. paved Portsmouth (Ohio) Speedway, 1962 I think, maybe '63, Beat the best modifieds in the midwest.

A sports writer gave him the tag of "Rapid". That was the only car that had the tag on it. Dad never liked it on the car. I think he felt embarrased by it. One of the many lessons he taught me was not to talk about what you can do, but to show it.

Thank you for the kind words about my dad, Dick Good!!:22:

Woody did run a Studebaker engine for awhile in the #11 Super, that dad drove and then went to a Corvette engine.

Thanks, Joyce. I knew there was a Studebaker back there somewhere. Watched your father race at the old Millburg Speedway in the days when Supers could run several times a week.
