Oklahoma Racing Pre 1970's
Lap #1


The 60's was a turning point in my opinion. What was called the super modifieds in the 60's soon started to become the sleek supers of the 70's. With sedans and coupes becoming harder to find after years of racing them, slowly the transition began to fiberglass bodied supers we know of the late 60's and 70's.
