| I would first like to thank John Surges for all his effort in creating the Vintage Modified Stockcar Club. Without this clubs existance I surely would not have started the search for Pop's last car. Preserving my Grandfathers memory by reconstucting his last Super Modified has truly been a moving experiance for me. Thanks John and all who keep the VMSC strong!! |

| We finally got access to a 1978 IRA year book that clearly shows Carmen Manzardo as the 77 Wilmot Champion and Gary Dye as the overall IRA Champion for 77. I've talked with drivers from that era and found little consensus on who the true IRA Champ was. This page is currently displayed on Joe Symoans page in the Driver Pages section of the main site. A few years back Carmen told me that he was the true Champion and Gary's claim to the Championship was incorrect. Gary does however have a 1977 IRA overall Championship trophy in his possession. As I have stated to both these fine drivers, I WILL NOT BE THE ONE TO MAKE THE FINAL CALL ON WHO THE 77 IRA OVERALL CHAMPION TRULY WAS !!!! I will simply display the facts as I get them. Now the hunt for some kind of recant from the IRA Officials about possible misinformation that may have been wrongly added to the 78 year book. |
