View Full Version : Late Model vs Modified
Here are a couple of cool videos of the 2 cars racing each other. The Redneck Racechasers video from Freedom was a really tacky track that night. The #2 car that gave the late model a hard time is actually a 370ci small block (aluminum heads steel block)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=090MeIn8cyI&t=114shttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D rQvx9havGoI&t=4s I believe on a slick track the outcome would have been different as shown in the 2nd video. The 2nd one is a video i took at Woodhull Raceway a few years back, some of the same drivers but on a much slicker track. I always liked these types of races, now if only Woodhull would get a super late show back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQvx9havGoI&t=4s

I've seen that second video before and even though the title says they are supers I'm fairly certain that isn't the case. If these guys are ULMS as the video description suggests then they are really crates per the rules. http://ulmsracing.com/ulms-rules/

Kinda died off I think too.

That Woodhull Raceway has some beautiful scenery as a backdrop. Being from the flatlands up north, I'm a bit jealous!

I'd like to see this at home track i-55 Raceway at pevely mo top 3 of modifed and 6th 7th 8th of super Late models that would be interesting
They are super lates in the 2nd video. ULMS has never been crates. Actually when i took this video we didnt even have crate lates in the area.
TheJet-09, Its been a few year 6-8 years since we have had a super late show. Here is a quick clip i shot there in the day light. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMQFbNsmCj8

Mods were holding up the late models in both videos. The guy in the vintage modified was making that thing WIDE.

Don't remember seeing a vintage modified in either of those videos. And the one from woodhull, the mods smoked the late models.

In the 2nd Woodhull video,the late models couldn't do anything with those modifieds.

Steve Francis is right. Late models are almost driven like sprint cars nowadays.

Modifieds are usually 1-1.5 seconds slower than lates. But yeah, in that video, they won handily. And Oakes ain’t bad, I think DuPont was the other guy?
in the first video from freedom the lates are 22 greg oakes , 44 dave hess jr and i dont recognize the 3rd
in the second video they are 22 greg oakes , 9 mike knight , and appears to be 7 of jason dupont
in the third video with the vintage mod thats a crate of jeremy wonderling

I was only maybe 10 years old the time of this vid but i remember Hagerstown doing something similar to this with mods and lates (dont remember sprints in it) for Octoberfest

Back in the late 80's they put together a race with five late models, five sprint cars, five modifieds and five IMCA stock cars at Boone. I have a video of it somewhere, will see if I can get someone to put it online.
