The race of Oct. 6, 2012. Small turnout for the night, but what a great race!! For those who shun open wheel racing: you are missing out! This was definitely to me the most exciting race I have had in yrs. You have to drive with skill and keep on your toes at all times, like a Grand Prix driver!! To go three wide into the bank and curves is thrilling, especially if it continues lap after lap. That was the way this race went more than a few times. We did not get done with racing 'till about 11:30pm and no one wanted to go for the track record so it is still open.
Results of a great race.

Race of Feb. 22, 2014. The Early Modifieds are gaining popularity! The entries are gaining ground as racers find that these cars are a lot of fun and handle great, not to mention the good looks. It was Gearloose's night as he won both classes. James set a new track record with Beau's car. Track records are on the News page.
Haven't seen Gary's car for awhile,

If you want to get into an exciting race, try open wheel! The Early Modified is really a fun class to drive as you need to be cautious going into corners which makes for some exciting times! I really like open wheel racing and this class with the old cars ( like me!! ) is a great way to finish up the night! This class will be the runner up to the points class Can-Am starting on March 21st.

This was 14yr. old Blake's first race. He did an outstanding job of driving. He drove his own race and kept up a steady pace and received an applause from the other racers. Hopefully he will continue racing. He enjoys R/C cars.

Today on Mother's day, Blake asked me if I would build him an Early Modified. YES I will!! He already picked the kit out and wants to paint it when I am done building it.

Congratulations to Blake on his first race! He did a great job and has the potential to be a premiere racer. I hope he will consider joining the group this coming season. Again, congrat's Blake....

I had a great time racing at Rapid Raceway as usual! Those Modifieds are action packed and a blast!

April. 4 '16. Monday, another exciting race. Congratulations to Bill for a consistent race, taking his first win here. Bill now leads by one point over Beau for the Early Modified 2016 season points champ.
"exciting racing". Beau comes close to "hitting the pavement"! Later, Stuart did "hit the pavement" with the Holly Farms '39 Chev in this picture, no injury to driver or car!

Howie, As usual I had a great time racing the Early Modifieds at Rapid Raceway yesterday! The race format you used sure made for some CLOSE racing, and the Early Modifieds are so exciting to race with the open wheels! I don't think I've experienced that much wheel to wheel side by side racing before. We ran so many laps with cars grouped together, which made the passing really challenging! You had to keep on your toes through every heat! Anyway thanks again, it really was a good time!
by howie » Sun Apr 24, 2016 8:48 am
Low turnout, but what fun!! I would have liked to have on tape some of the action while I was at the computer! Four cars in the bank at the same time and coming out unscathed! And more than once!
Blake and Bill fighting for position! They battled the whole heat! A great night of racing!
by howie » Sun Apr 24, 2016 9:05 am
Bill; I was a little down at the start of the evening with the low turnout, but when we got started, what a blast!! The race format does make for close racing. As long as we have at least 5 guys, we are good to go!
by howie » Sun May 01, 2016 7:31 am
Another fun race for these open wheel cars! Steady Bill is leading the points chase for this class!
by howie » Sun May 15, 2016 9:09 am
May 14th. '16. Bob Nak. wins the last points race of the season! We all have to wait 'till next season to get even with him!
L to R: Gearloose, Howie, Mitch, John.
Beau has a burn down!!

The Early Modifieds were back on the track at Rapid Raceway. These cars are a total blast to race! Very fast and open wheels makes for some fantastic and exciting racing! The night was filled with crashes and damage ending runs for some drivers.
Through the pits:
Marty's Early Modified.
