Thanks Ron, we really appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

Ron

Your willingness to share what you've learned through decades of racing and thousands of hours of building, testing, tuning and racing is a huge benefit to everyone here.

Everyone on this site adds something to the community but you are doing more than your share at this point.:thumbsup:

Vince ... I AM Ray Kaufman. :secret:



Well, not really. I don't really know who Ray is, but I think our paths might have crossed crossed back in 2000-2008.

I saw photos he posted on PT.com of him running a Super Modified at Madera Speedway. When I wasn't racing, I'd go hang with my friends Troy Regier & Louie Gennuso with Biswell Motorsports that ran Super Modifieds in that same series.

At the end of 2003 Dave Biswell figured he'd won enough & spent enough money that he closed the team, and Louie went to work for me on my 4-car Midget team in 2004.

From 2004 to 2008, we ran a lot of USAC Midget races at the same venues as the Supers.

So if I haven't met Ray, we for sure have some friends in common. It's funny now big the world of cars & racing is and how small the community is.

Vince, I look forward to meeting you at an event.

These cars are bad ass & I love them too. When people say "purpose built" ... I think Super Modified, because they're the fastest thing on 1 mile & smaller ovals.

That's a photo of Dave Biswell's car that Louie Gennus Crew Chiefed & Troy Regier drove. They were a powerful combination, winning a lot of races & championships a decade ago. The series is dying today, but it used to be a helluva show to watch.

When people ask what a Super Modified is, I say, "Envision an Indy Car & a Sprint Car blended together."

........that oozes testosterone all over the shop floor.

Sad to see the series dying, could they be a big hit in a historic series of sorts?

I don't know. Frankly, 95% of the West Coast cars are on older chassis because the series is weak. They just don't have enough racer involvement to field enough cars at events.

I was having trouble at work with a co-worker.

Ron spoke with them; problem solved.

Haven't seen them lately though...
