Anyone have any pictures of Bob Callahan's Corvette of Atlanta. He owned a speed shop there...Think the name was Motor Craft, maybe....

I have been busy trying to get a race car ready but I did not know I had missed this post. Modified Production was the "Sportsman" type racing the spectators come to see. There was nothing like those high winding small blocks and the shifting of the old 4-speeds. Today we get all of the conversation about Stock/Superstock Combo racing and in those days the old Gas/Modified races drew lots of cars and tons of fans.
