7th Annual Modified Reunion coming together

[Frasson118]

This is a much more recent version of the "Mystic Missle"

[Frasson118]

Transplanted Canadian, Terry St. Amand will be making his first visit.

Sonny O'Sullivan is a lifelong racer. He still has a Sprint car he breaks out a few times a year.

Interesting thing about this photo... Sonny is driving this car, owned by Ben Dodge, photo taken by Crystal Snape. All THREE will be at NSS that day.

Rick "Fireball" McGuire was at NSS recently with his Late Model. This time he's coming as a fan and the chance the expose his kids to examples of where this sport came from.

Here's a shot of his Dirt Mod.

Once again, Danny Casteel will make the long haul down here from Johnson Tenn. with his 41. I don't think I've ever seen Danny NOT smiling at the Reunions.

Mike Herman Jr. gets involved in everything in racing. Crew Chief, advisor, driving coach, Hooters Cup & Late Model competitor.... and even a MODIFIED.

He'll be down from NC that week and will attend.

Former Lancaster NY regular, now Ocala resident Jerry Mathis is coming again this year. You'll still see him in the pits whenever the Sprint cars are around, as the Crew Chief for daughter Wendy Mathis. Missed him at OSW last month, but he was there.

Pretty proud of this stat... in just 7 days, and with almost 6 weeks to go, we are already up to 30 drivers, and 12 Vintage cars. There's a few entered that I'm still searching for photo's.

And I'm just getting started. I think the Vintage will break 25, and the drivers should be well over 100.

Jimmy Wilkins ran this car up in MASS in the late 80's. His son Jimmy Jr races a Florida Mod locally. Saw him at Auburndale in '13.

[Frasson118]

Richard Pastor will haul this Dirt-style Mod all the way from Fredericksbug MD to be part of the show.

[Frasson118]

Treasure Coast area racer Doc McKinney has been around for a while, and family involvement goes even further back. The McKinney family has been involved with Modifieds for over 50 years.

Doc himself has done quite a bit, with seat time in a Hooters Cup car, a LM, and his current Fla Mod.

Good to see him coming...

Ronnie Dunston

I used to see Ron running at Flemington, he did very well in Midgets.

I remember this car from '74 in Trenton NJ. The one & only time I witnessed the career of Don Stives. His teammate this day was Will Cagle in identically painted Gremlin.

Until more recent years, I didn't realize how good Don really was. He won tons of races, dirt & asphalt, driving for some of the top owners of the day.

Don & his wife Sue have been to nearly all the Reunions, and have really become some of my favorite racing people. I even saw them at a Florida Reunion that was held at Columbia MSP.... where they had a couple of junked out racecars inside of turn 3. Now, one of those cars has a case of empty beer bottles, thanks to the Stives & myself..!

Sandy Rochelle

FYI, Sandy Rochelle was the URC Sprint car Champion in 1979.

Dale Holdridge from Madison CT will be on hand.

Nice looking Cavalier here.
