Hope some of the "young folks" in the Modified crowd took time to meet a few of the all time legends on hand at the Spring Sizzler this weekend. Daytona 500 winner Pete Hamilton, Talledega 500 winner Ronnie Bouchard (from Fitchburg!), Indy 500 rookie of the year Denny Zimmerman ... all those guys got their start in the Mods! They brought lots of great attention to the "Coupes and Pintos" division way back when.
I also saw "The Champ" Rene Charland walking around. And also Bob Judkins, a legendary Mod owner who WON more races than many of today's Mod racers will ever ENTER!
Hope we never forget the roots of this great form of racing, the Modifieds!
