Yep, I still see Dick Maris. Has a Comp Dragster. Forgot about Raymond Martin. I was gone for several years. I recognized Dick when I first saw him again in Mike Edward's pits a few years ago. I honestly can't remember what Raymond looks like. Used to know him when I saw him at the track, just can't bring his face up. I know I've seen him at Div 4 races, just didn't know it. I was not aware Warren Johnson ever races Modified. First I remember him is in Pro Stock. Hmmm Learn something every day. :-)

Sorry to tell you guys that the Opal died at a La. Race track.
Vic Custer @ EasTex Race cars sent me an engine to re do / update and later I found out it was going in the W/County/Patterson Opal. I think it was back in the early 2,000's... '02 or '03.
Then a little time passed and I was talking to him and ask if the work I did helped it pick up. He said it picked up.. up and into the rail and on it's top... Totaled. That is the last info I have on it. I think it happened at Red River/ Thunder Road or what ever they are calling that track just north of Shreveport @ Giliam La. You know now that I think about it I'm wondering if I got paid or Reimbursed for that job.. Hum!! :~(
The last thing I heard of Lindley was he had moved from the Gilmer/Gladewater area of East Texas and has a Speed Shop in Clear Lake, Tx
Some one needs to have a reunion race of all the old Modified racers.
