Best Modified racer?
Okay, we?ve been through the best Super Stock and Junior Stock racers. How about the best Modified racer? Of course my vote goes to Garley Daniels and his C/SM Chevy II. I?ll have to add Larry Kopp and Cotton Perry also. Let the fun begin.

I saw Paul Mercure in Michigan in the late 70's early 80's when I was a kid and he was awesome in that Checkmate Camaro. I think he ran D/MP. He was outrunning everybody.

Oh boy.....This should be a fun one!!!
Where to start.....Dave Hutchens could rank up there with the roadster and the Opel. After Tony Christian acquired the ex-Reher-Morrison Vette, he went on a tear on the National event trail with six wins? David Nickens can't be overlooked. Billy Mansell would have probably have had a great career if he had not left us unexpectively due to his tragic highway accident. Two National event wins in a short time while his future was looking very bright. |
How far back do you want to go? Carroll Caudle, Raymond Martin, Bobby Cross in David & Buddy's Maverick ("The Real Boss 302!"), Lee Shepard in his ChevyII wagon, The WOP Shop cars, later Mike Edward's B/SM Maverick (made my life miserable<G>) ....jk

How about Arlen Fadely (B/SM Maverick) or Bruce Sizemore (I/G Pinto)? Northeast guys would remember Brian Gillis (B/G Nova) and Bobby Spirito ("Daddy's Dollar" F/G Camaro).
