Welcome to Vintage Modified!

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.

Jones comes around and blows John off the track, John’s trike tips over and there he rolls. It’s all good race fans, John stands up and shows the fans he is not hurt. John carefully picks up his trike, no worries; the trike was not damaged in the wreck.

Robert is peddling, but his knees keep hitting his chin, so up he goes and turns his peddle-trike into a push-trike.

They all cross the finish line for another great day of racing.
