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.

Vince ... I AM Ray Kaufman.



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...
