Comments: For all of you who get tired of hearing all of us talking about how today's body styles just don't do it for us... well... here's why.  Check out this great looking Vega Modified driven by Ralph Brown above.  This car has it all...  In addition to the Vega shell, check out how well the body fits the car, the paint accents around the openings, the XL hood scoop, and you just gotta love those drag tires!

Ralph's nephew Ron Jon Koczon is one of today's top Modified racers at New Egypt Speedway.

04/16/06 Barry Miller This picture looks like it was from opening day '76, this car was one of my favorite Vegas. This car was a former Johnny Botz number 2 and Ralph always ran well in it. I remember this car winning a feature at U.S.13 in 1977during Sryacuse weekend. He and Ronnie Paulson battled side by side for about half the feature. Ralph was in Ronnie's high groove and Ronnie was on the bottom and they went at it and Ralph beat him by a couple feet. It was one of the closest finishes I saw at U.S.13 In the second feature Ronnie started one spot ahead of Ralph and Ronnie won that feature and Ralph got second.

Those were the good old days, fuel injection and drag tires. Too bad those days are gone now.
