 Among the strangest body styles the modifieds used besides a Pacer was a VW Rabbit like this car of Nick Nields

 The early Modifieds were really modified . How about a 430 Lincoln engine in a 39 Plymouth .

 Pinecrest, wasnt there some story about Mcllroy and Biederman in some big mess one night? Thought I once heard a story about it?

  I am not familiar with any Mcllroy and Biederman stories perhaps Statsman is .

 However ______ and Biederman in some big mess one night stories would fill many pages of a thread . With out going into depth among my favorites would be the night Biederman jumped on the trunk of Jerry Makaras car after an on track altercation and Makara took off driving at speed with Biederman spread eagle on the trunk all the way around the track . The time Hanley and Biederman got into a fight and Junior almost bit off Dons ear , which is why Biederman always referred to Junior as "'Mad Dog" would be among the top .

On the back of the car is Pikes Peak Raceway so maybe there? I have a few pics I took, specifically of Slack's Mustang from 80 just don't know how to post them here lol.

 Triechlers Falcons were legendary his Rambler wasn't this is from 1965
Isn't the pictured car a Studebaker Lark ?  This model would have been built at the Hamilton plant. I have a vague memory of a guy running one like this at Pinecrest in the summer of 66 ? I was only 10 then so hard to recall if it was that track for sure . My dad drove a Studey back then and I do remember cheering the guy on the track but he didn't do so well. It may have been Barrie ?

 Duken i will have to defer to the knowledge of yours and others when it comes to Studebaker's and Ramblers as mine is very limited . What year did Studebaker morph into Rambler AMC ? The only driver i remember being successful with a Studebaker in Ontario was Jerry Reevers who had one the same as this one.

latemodel28 the picture of the Ford wagon race car was posted on a Vintage racing forum i go on by another member there . He did say his father raced it around Colarado (as ELP441 noticed) in the mid 60s but did not say what track it specifically was . The only track i recall seeing a wagon race at in Ontario was South Shore Speedway .

I remember McIlory's Mustang that he drove for McGlynn (I believe it was McGlynn's car).  That Mustang was incredibly fast in the early 80's at Sauble.  It was finally replaced with a Grenada I believe and honestly don't think it was ever a factor again.

At the same time at Sauble Andy Schmidt was running "Granny" his old Cougar, mad horsepower and no handle.  It was fun to watch it run though.  At the same time, Ron Lipskie had left Flamboro for Sauble, picked up Rutherfords signs and had a real nice Thunderbird.

Andy, Ron and a host of others put on great shows at Sauble back then.

Jake Shaw's ford creations over the years have always been beauties...and fast.

Shocked that no one has thrown up a picture of Bob Senneker's ASA cars.  Weren't they all Fords?

 Studebaker monday continues.
 NASCAR had quite a few but they were before my day . Here George Parrish runs 9th at Richmond in his Stude . I wonder if that chair was for the starter to sit on during the race ?


 1957 Darlington 500 George Parrish crashes with Bobby Myers (not in pic) Myers died from his injuries and Parrish decides to retire .

THANKS Guys-great scanning work. Yep Statsman, that's Bennett's Lark. Wish my wife hadn't made me throw out my old Wheelspins (rec room was getting condemned by the fire marshall)
 Re Clark's trashing of the challenger. After that, he ended up borrowing one of Dick Flaig's #33 Camaros to finish out the season (mainly at Holland and Perry) and unfortunately, I don't think he went back to Mopar after that.

 Jerry Makara in the nicest Dodge Aspen you have ever seen . Here  he is in the 1982 Mid-Ohio Kelly American Challenge . I think this was a Peerless Manufacturing car
