Oklahoma City - This 1n was owned and driven by local Chuck Robinett. I don't know the details of the Nance sponsorship, but this was not the official Nance house car. The Nance house car was owned by Carroll Nance and driven by Herb Copeland.

RonnieRamer.jpg (60704 bytes)   Ronnie Ramer - Omega, Oklahoma
The #166 owned and driven by Ronnie Ramer of Omega, Oklahoma. Here the car is loaded and ready to head out on another of our many road trips. Since the photo was taken in front of my old house in Del City, we must have been going to Lawton, Dallas or maybe a special at Oklahoma City. This was a mid to late season photo, you can tell by fact the paint on the hood and cowl does not match the paint scheme on the rest of the car and the bungee cord across the front of the hood. Keep in mind this was years before Gambler made it fashionable to use a bungee cord to hold the front of the hood down on their sprint cars, we must have been trend setters. Notice the wide 5 hubs on the rear, this was about 1976 or 77 and wide 5's were pretty rare in this area on supers at this time, most supers used open tube rear ends with knock-offs. The right front wheel is a Doc Grice copy of the Weld light weight steel wheels. The car was sponsored by Ronnie and his Dad's businesses: Omega Auto Parts & Repair, Omega Trucking and Omega Racing Engines. The car also received product sponsorship from Crane Cams, VHT and Roto Faze distributors.

Ronnie's dad J.C. Ramer was the Oklahoma City rookie of the year in 1960, if memory serves me right. The last I knew Ronnie and his dad still had some of the body and engine parts to his dad's old modified coupe, which featured a Chrysler hemi engine. Ronnie also was a regular in the semi-late and late model classes at Enid for many years. The chassis was built by Dale Parson Auto Racing for Ronnie in 1973 I believe and featured cross torsion rear suspension and a transverse leaf spring on the front. This car eventually was sold to Dale Parson and he changed the frame rails to rectangular tubing and lengthened the wheelbase from 100" to 108" to race it with the Texas modifieds, that was the last I knew of the car. If anyone connected with the car (especially Ronnie, Tim, Charlie, the other Terry) is online, please send me an email sometime. Terry Sanderson

This was Dale Parson's first Texas modified after he moved from Oklahoma.  When he stopped by to watch the Winternationals in OKC, he was granted a special rule exemption to allow him to race with the supers.  If I remember correct, the Texas mods had 108" wheelbases, their weight rule was much heavier than our supers and allowed much larger engines,

As always if you have something to add, a correction or want to talk old race cars you can email me, Terry Sanderson.
