The BRP/Hoosier Race Tires Modified Tour 07 closed out their 2007 racing season with their first annual High Performance Swap Meet, which was held on Saturday, November 3rd at the Sharon Speedway. The event, which was the “brain child” of Tour Board member, Ray Baselj, featured 58 vendors selling a variety of new and used race cars, racing parts, collectibles and racing apparel. The event was also co-sponsored by Big Daddy’s Speed Center. All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Modified Tour Points Fund which will be distributed to the drivers at the awards banquet in January. Due to the very positive response that the Modified Tour received look for an even bigger event in 2008!!

In addition a special “Thank You” goes out to the following persons who graciously donated items for the Chinese Auction: Rob Curtis and The Curtis Race Team, Ray Baselj and Ray’s Racing Specialties and Tim Engles.
