Together they make a great racing team. Chuck is one of the founding members of Vintage Modified. Chuck has won the Sportsmanship award in the past, due to his gentleman ways in the pits and for always being there to offer any team a lending hand when cars break down and parts are needed. Congratulations to the father and son team.

Tom Smitham drove the 32-car this year for car owner, Leonard Schmidt.  Tom ended the season with a total of 551 points coming in 7th place.   Even though he sometimes lacked engine power, Tom kept Leonard’s car competitive all year.   In fact, this was one of the best racing seasons the 32-team has had in a long time.  Tom made racing a challenge for every car on the track.  Tom is owner and operator of NuTread Tires in Tacoma and has been an active member of the VMRA board for the past several years.  Congratulations to the 32-team.
