[QUOTE="Black 03 Z06, post: 299165, member: 1852"] The Oswego Speedway rear engine era took off very quickly. Ultimately they were banned, unthinkable at the time for a class of race cars that essentially had no rules. The draw of Oswego was incredible with teams towing in from the West Coast of the United States and British Columbia and the prairie provinces. There was a Mid/Midwest group called the Canadian American Modified Racing Association that represented their ideas on Supermodified racing at Oswego. Perhaps the ultimate in the rear engine cars was the one of multi time track and classic winner Jimmy Shampine. His rear engine offset car was stunning and I offer some pics of it here along with his more traditional offset roadster. Sadly Shampine lost his life at Oswego. He was a legend and a truly nice man.
