I envy you for being around during that transitional period. I started watching dirt track "Jalopies & "modified coupes" in Virginia in the early 60s, we moved North in 1966 & i went to 2 races on pavement, lost all interest until i started going to sprint car races in Pennsyltucky in 2010.
And yes, pretty sure that transition was different in different parts of the country. If you ever go to EMMR museum in York Haven, Pa., you can see what they call "bugs" or "30x 90s", which I guess are similar (or the same?) as "supermodifieds". Doesn't seem like there was one clearly defined moment of transition
