Please post your make believe fantasy picks on here. This should be very entertaining. Weren't the old non wing sprinters called modifieds?

Champ sprints (1/2 mile) - Ricky Jennings/ Jack Moulton (somebody said jett starr, lmao)

1/4 mile non-wing - Wayne Wade/ Scott Claxton

1/4 mile with wings - Steve Sanders/ Glen Owens

Pro stock - Charlie Sewell/ Bill South

Street stocks - Paul Shade/ any Buntin

I don't remember much about the old street stocks except that there was like 80 every week wasn't there?

foot!"

Got a headache right now so I can not think. Although, some accuse me of not thinking at all but factory stocks MIke Spivey. Pro's Martin Marlow, 1/2 mile cars Bob the bullet Ewell/ Howie the jet Sewell

Yes the non-wing cars were called the modifieds and how far back in the 80's are we going. Can we include the non-wing champ cars? I thought they were running the modifieds all the way up untill the two barrels came into exsistence. I could be wrong though.

Larry Wilson won the 1st NCRA Modified Championship 675-500 over Darrell Jennings........Driving a FORD!!!!

Harold Leep won the NCRA Championship in 1973, while only racing in the first 6 races and then abruptly retired from racing (July 23, 1973). At the time of his retirment annoucement, Harold was the runaway points leader at SFS and had nearly locked up the NCRA Championship for the second year in a row.

Harold would return to racing after a year and a half retirement.
