Modified racing is one of the oldest types of racing in the US, dating back to the days of the post-World War II coupes. Modified racing began as race drivers modified their cars to gain a competitive advantage over their fellow competitors. What started out as minor modifications to the cars has now grown to the point that some modified classes are no longer based on any current production vehicles. NASCAR was instrumental in modified racing's beginnings. Some of NASCAR's pioneers were veteran modified racers long before NASCAR's inception in 1949.
We finally hit the track. Our first official race of the 2020 season, July 11th at Wenatchee Valley Super Oval. Fantastic weather. Several wonderful classes racing. Most importantly, six of our beautiful Vintage cars were in attendance and had a wonderful evening of racing.
Our next race will be July 18th at Stateline Idaho.

Hello Racers. It is time to get back behind the wheel and have some fun. 2020 has been a real challenge for us all. When VMRA was founded over 30 years ago drivers raced for painted rocks and emphasized having fun. After thoughtful consideration and input from our members, we have decided to dedicate this season to that original goal. All of our scheduled races will be “NON-POINTS” events. No Points, No Championship, No Awards Banquet, just comradery and good, clean, sportsmanlike racing. Let’s keep it safe and fair and have some FUN.
