11.25.10 Mike Kent This photo tells a lot about the sport in 1982. The move from pintos to Cavalier-bodied cars was starting to happen. Look at the other cars in this pic---JB's Gremlin, a couple of Pintos, Ling's Dodge, a Cavalier, and a lonesome Coupe (probably Ted Alt) all on the same track---every era of racing represented in one corner of the pits.

Within a couple more seasons, the Cavalier body style would dominate the sport into the early 90's and the demise of the home-built chassis weekend warriors was at hand. And here we are today, racing highly-engineered cars measured in cubic-dollars that are only identifiable by the factory roof skin. Sigh....

12.25.10 DWARFER21 The Coupe belongs to John Witkowski and was driven by Kenny Woolley Jr. It was a Sportsman car that ran at Wall but ran with the Modifieds at New Egypt.
03.05.11 Todd C. Lewis As far as asphalt modifieds in my opinion there was none better than the "Rapid Roman" Richie won just about everywhere.

Not a doubt in my mind were it not for that fateful day at Martinsville that he probably would have run another 15 years
