A very big and loud Thank you to all the Families, Friends and Fans that so faithfully come out to cheer on their favorite car and teams.  The dedication of the families, friends and fans makes racing all-worth-while!

The next race will be at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe on Saturday May26th.

Todd McCartney driving the #92 car, began racing with Vintage Modified Racing Association in 1997.  Todd brings out his beautiful 1946 Ford for the fun and love of racing.  Todd ended his 2013 season in 10th place with 69 points. He is a true sportsman and a gentleman racer.  Todd’s crew chief is Dave Trapp and pit crew is Casey McCartney.  Streamline Auto Body is owned and operated by Todd McCartney and is his sponsor.

Robby Cartwright came out this year, driving the #40 car and ended his season in the #4 car.  Bill Brewer, owner of the #4 car, offered Robby the #4 car so he  could finish the season and take home the Rookie trophy.  Unfortunately I do not have driver bio information on Robby or Bill but will share what I know, and ask in advance to correct me if I have my few facts incorrect.

Robby’s first race with VMRA was at Ephrata July 2013.  He came out and had a great night of racing.  Joined in the meet-and-great with the families and fans of VMRA.  Pictured below is Robby Cartwright and his 40 car.   Robby ended his season in 11th place with 48 points and got rookie of the year with 38 rookie points driving Bill Brewers # 4 car.  What a generous offer, thank you Bill for your great show of sportsman ship!

Robby is the first driver in VMRA that flipped and rolled his car at a race. Thank goodness he wasn’t hurt.  His claim to fame “Rollin Robby” was gained at South Sound Speedway August 2013.   We hope to see Robby Cartwright back out for the 2014 season.  Good luck Robby!

The first race will be at South Sound Speedway in Rochester/Tenino area, April 19th.  Be watchful for the weather, dress warm and bring your hats, scarfs and gloves.  Car owners, be sure to get your tire order into Nu-Tread tires in a timely manner so you are prepared for the first race.  Contact Nu-Tread tires at 253-572-9064.

Dawn Huntley, nicknamed “Wildman”, took home the 9th place trophy in 2013.  He races in a 1942 Ford Coupe with a 355 Chevy engine.  Dawn is a pleasure to have in the Vintage Modified Racing Association club.  Always has a kind word to say, always fair in his dealings and a gentleman in the sport of racing.

Dawn ended his season with 200 points.  He has a wonderful crew on his team.  Introducing Dawn’s Crew Chief, Allan Stull and Pit Crew team are Gerge Norton and Samatha Huntley.

Bob Fulmer accepted the 59 team’s trophy at the 2013 banquet.

Well here it is folks, Vintage Modified Racing Association’s 2014 season schedule and poster.  Thank you to the teams that paid to display their cars and the sponsors for our 2014 season. 

And again, congratulations to Paul Field and the 21 team for your 2013 Championship.

Thank you to the club sponsors, the team sponsors, the families, friends and the fans who all support Vintage Modified Racing Association.  Without all of you, there would be no racing.

And by the way, I apologize in advance for the blurry visual of the poster.
