Dick Dunn began his Modified career during the Coupe Era of the 1960's among the track's all-time greats.  During the 1970's, he was at the top of his game, driving Al & Peg Gaudreau's #3 to four straight Modified titles.

Veteran Don Fowler's long Speedbowl career began as one of the earliest Late Model stars winning 17 features and 3 Track Championships in the Grand American Late Model division during the last half of the 1970's
