By doing something different you're making everything the same.  What?  I agree with smaller bodies or stock body roof and quarters.   But I also think street stocks should have stock bodies so I'm a little whacky like that.

you are right he was a good guy when his head was on right.  I always liked the guy.  Not trying to take anything away from him and he had a pretty good amount of talent too.   His modified was always kept in a garage next to where my wife lived when I first started dating her.  He had his problems, but who doesn't.

PEE WEE - I was thinking the orange car was Mikes???  Could be Rich Marlatt?  I think the yellow one is Earl Harp.  Who was the green and white 33?  I don't remember that car.

Boy I sure miss those old superstocks.  They put on some great races back then.

Bob - you asked about Terry Hough.  I think he got kicked out of Woodhull for the stunt he pulled when he got blackflagged - wouldn't leave the track and they had to chase him down with the push truck.  He showed up at Redline a while after that when they were racing latemodels down there weekly.  I think he had some trouble with the law and then moved to one of the Carolina's I had heard.

Is it just me, or does the phrase "Crate Sportsman Open" sound like an oxymoron?   ???

Haven't most been opened?  LOL  Shane Andrews calls them "theoretically sealed".   :)

Ford53 if you're using the old 4 speed trans 3.73 gears will work.

I would recommend buying cheap older chassis to get started.  You can pick up a decent chassis for $200 - $400.  Just make sure it's not bent.  In 2010 i bought a brand new rage chassis for myself and I wish I would have just bought something used for about 1/3 the price.  My boy and I have been in karts for 2 years now and I just bought a complete late 90's bicknell for my daughter.  I picked it up for $200 and just went through it and put new bearings everywhere and rebuilt the brakes all for about $60.  At least where we race its all about set up and motor and less about the type or age of the chassis.  Karts are a really cheap way to have a lot of fun.

I finally answered my question as to the layout of the track in Bath.  Below is Bath Speedway in 1952, the cattle auction in 2006, and an overlay of both photos.
