Dingo

Raced Modifieds in Australia from 1975 till I emigrated to the USA in 2000.

Started the State Sanctioning Body for Modifieds in West Australia in 1980 and was elected a Life member in 1987. Was instrumental in forming the National Modified sanctioning Body in the late 80s and held office through till the late 90s.

Coordinated 4 Australian Championships and promoted a 3 class 'Super Series' at tracks throughout West Australia.

Raced throughout West Australia and at Newcastle Motordrome (NSW) in 1986 where I finished 6th out of 34 cars in the 40 lap easter Grand Prix. Ran in the top 3 in WA for many years and had several placings in WA Championships over the years. Also raced the last ever meeting at the historic Claremont Speedway in 1999/2000 season, finishing 4th in the feature from the backmark.

After purchasing a Billy Pauch Olsen Modified in 2011, am putting together a Vintage Modified to run the Pennsylvania Vintage Dirt Modified series I have started, racing at tracks through mid to western PA and into east Ohio.
