Jeff turned into a very classy act didn't he? I'm actually surprised he showed his face back in the area - which may be why he didn't hang around. He still owes the PA Vintage Mods a decent sum of money but we've resigned ourselves to the fact that's never to be seen. I'd like to wish Jeff all the best for the future but you know...... I just cant do it.
About Me
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.

Dint look like a pre year 2000 year chassis as the rules listed on there web site says pre year 2000 only that's y I ask.
So I can find any year chassis and put some square tubing over the rear and that makes it legal?
Actually Curt, you have the option to build a 'retro' chassis with 2x4 up and over the year and a front clip that maintains the pre 2001 configuration. Les has basically put together this type of chassis.
Just a heads up to you and your team, it was decided at our AGM by the entire Club that after your teams behavior at Dog Hollow where 2 of the Committee were abused in public, that your team never be allowed to race with the PA Vintage Dirt Modifieds in future at all.
Best of luck in your future racing endeavors.

Legend, if you want to come and pay your $20 for a great buffet feed, you're quite welcome. Maybe if you get to know those that are involved in this group and gain an appreciation for what we're all about, it may change your perspective.

The Promoter at AMP ran off owing our Class a total of $1200 - the classic 'The checks are in the mail'. I would suggest any monies, trophies, contingency's or awards that were put aside for the drivers at the end of the racing year, will be long gone as well. All up, a lot of people got screwed.
His 'poor me' tirade in AARN was completely one sided and 'the other side' wasn't given an opportunity to square the ledger.
Given the ill feeling spawned by his words and actions however, I would be surprised if you see Mr Taylor within 200 miles of this area.
