Shane11okc73.jpg (68568 bytes) Shane's first race car on his first night. This was Oklahoma City modified in 1973, "there were so many mods then I ran the consi for 3 weeks to get enough points to run a heat race. Then just
because I had to start at the rear of the heats for 2 more weeks, I won the feature on my 6th start."  Back in the early 70's we use to have 100-140 modifieds each week.

Shane-clboyd.jpg (74593 bytes) Shane in Doc Garrett's Stanton car and John Sernett in Buzzie's (Buzz McDonald) C.L. Boyd car at the 1982 Oklahoma City WoO race.  The #65 was the famous Hemi powered sprint car, if you look at the frame on the #65 car you'll notice the top frame rail kicks down under the headers, that was to accommodate the Hemi engine that had formerly filled the engine bay.
