Doug Duncans' rear engine car was beautiful in my eyes, also saw it race once.It's a shame that few people under the age of 50 or so seem to know much about the history of their local tracks. Very few tracks in Ontario seem to do much to educate their fans.
Yes it is a shame. When I look at the Flamboro website, their history starts from the LateModel era of Biederman, Hanley and all the others. You wouldn't know Super Mods raced there regularly unless you're an old guy like me.
I recall the late models coming to flamborough as a special show back when the supers ran there. Earl Ross comes to mind as possibly being one of them. They seemed so so slow and boring compared to the supers.
