Thank you Todd McCartney, crew chief and Barb Trapp, wife and pit crew.  Thank you too Dave’s sponsors (displayed in the pictures) and thank you to all the fans.

First race of the season will be at South Sound Speedway on April 19th.

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. 

Charlie West, Jr. was driving the 32-car for owner Leonard Schmidt.  The 32-car came in 7th place with an over all 347 points for the 2013 season.  It was nice seeing Charlie back on the track. Way to go Charlie!

Along with the fun in racing, the trophies and the great experiences there are sometimes great frustrations.  The 32-team had their fair share of hard luck throughout the year.  One thing I can say about the Vintage teams, when one crew is having a hardship everyone pitches in to get them back on the track.

As it turned out Charlie West and the 32-car was able to complete the Main Event.  A good day of racing after all.

Thank you to the 32-team 2013 sponsors:  Peterson Motorsports and West Bay Auto body.

It is time to prepare for the 2014 season.  The 2014 racing schedule is posted on the Schedule/Events page.  A fantastic line-up ahead, see everyone at the first race of the 2014 season April 19th at South Sound Speedway.

Kyten Jones driving the 30-car came in 6th place, ending his season with a total of 383-points.  Kyten had his fair share of ups and downs through out the 2013 season.  However, he still managed to give the top three cars a run for their trophies.  At mid-season Kyten was one of the top five drivers.

Kyten had one thing after another happen that led him to this next award; however, he managed to make it back to every race.  The 2013 Hard Luck Award went to Kyten Jones.  Pictured with Kyten for love and support is his little sister Laney.  Pictured below is Kyten’s car being towed off the track.  His tire right front tire took off and completed turns 1 and 2 before stopping.

Kyten wasn’t the only Jones to receive awards at the 2013 banquet.  His father, Jim Jones, received the Sportsman Award.  Jim earned this award, elected by his peers, for always being willing and available to other teams in their time of need.  Congratulations Jim.

Cheryl and Jim were elected Most Inspirational Non Driver for all their efforts in providing big BBQs after the races.  Their social gatherings after the races were fun, great food and great times.

Thank you Kyten Jones, 30-car, 2013 Sponsors:

Congratulations to Chuck and Jeff Peterson, a father / son team, for taking home the 5th place trophy; ending their 2013 season with 385 points.  Chuck is a founding member of the Vintage Modified Racing Association and has been racing for 45-years.  There are times when the fans are honored by a 3-generation team when Chuck, his son Jeff and grand son Kelton all race on the same day.

Kelton receiving a trophy with his dad, Jeff, and his brother Chandler and sister Courtney.

It is truly wonderful when the whole family is involved with racing.  The Peterson family are icons to Vintage Modified Racing Association.
