| Comments: | Never saw this car run, but that doesn't stop me from really enjoying this photo. It's what a lot of us liked about "modifieds..." A very visible fuel injected big block stuffed between 2 frame rails... a hand lettered body mounted over top of the cage, with the driver clearly visible behind the wheel. There was a uniqueness to the cars, and an excitement to watching the guys behind the wheel wrestling their homebuilt creations down the straight and through the turns. So much so that even if there was a lull in a particular race, fans like us could find excitement just by taking in the coolness of of the cars....whether running in a pack, or just riding around by themselves... just being cool... |
