Talk:NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour

message: *In the Modifieds more than in any other division except Cup, there is a strong history of team owners being notable within their sport.  So I added a "Team Owner" field to the list-of-champs table when I drafted the article.  Barno 00:39, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Team owners in list of champions

message: *I de-linked the link from Wayne Anderson to the Wayne Anderson article, because the Florida driver (who has run CASCAR, various late models, and occasional shots at NASCAR's higher series) is not the same as the Long Island driver who has run modifieds.  Eventually we should write a second article and add a disambiguation page.  Barno 19:40, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wayne Anderson 

message: *The only source I expect we'll be able to use for the Earnings column of the past-champs chart is the annual NASCAR Media Guide.  Unfortunately, my newest copy is 1978.  I'm going to try to post a request on a messageboard or two, hoping to get help from someone with a copy.  Barno 14:52, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  NASCAR Media Guide 

message: *I removed the 1966 photo from Golden Gate because those appear more like "modified late models" than the prevailing type of Modifieds at any time.  We should add a couple of historical photos, perhaps one from about 1950 (cut fenders, truck wheels); one from about 1970 (coupe/coach bodies on other chassis, 18-inch slicks); and one from about 1980 (Pinto/Vega bodies).

message: Speedy Move - this was our intention as we wrote it. We had discussed listing the article for DYK, so time is essential. Royalbroil 14:14, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Requested move

message: I removed the USAC mention from the postwar Sprint and Midget classes, because they were under AAA sanction until that organization's exit from motorsports after the 1955 disaster at Le Mans.  USAC took over those classes' national sanctioning in 1956.  Barno 13:14, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  postwar non-stock cars 

message: (technically this should not have qualified, it went live on the 12th and was mislisted as newer. The date is the date it goes live, not the day of nom. But no worries, it's a fascinating article...++Lar: t/c 02:34, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: DYK

message: I have a copy of the media guide, and its "Series Firsts" section lists "First Rookie of the Year: Dave Pecko (1999)".  The table in this article had Renee Dupuis listed for 1996 and Charlie Rudolph listed for 1990.  Both of those seem plausible but I'm not sure whether RotY's were given before the guide says.  Can the editor(s) who added those listings show some documentation such as media mentions, or were these "unofficial titles" that eager fans added as if official?  I removed the pre-'99 lines but we can add them back in if the earlier awards were considered "real", rather than just some columnist's opinion.  Barno 23:23, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rookie of the Year history 

message: I was just wondering if it would be a good idea to make an article on the Modified cars themselves. Both the Dirt and Asphault ones as well as the IMCA style modifieds as well as many other styles of these cars. It would be an article on all the styles of these cars, not just the two NASCAR tours that this and the southern tour article are about. I dont know how to create an article and stuff like that, but I can get all kinds of info and pix for these style of racecars. Fisha695 03:34, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  A seperate article for Modifieds. 

message: "Click here for a list of all champions including 1948–84 National Modified Champions."
Link in above line is dead.
I think it would be better to have a section actually mentioning the winners (and other info) of pre-2012 modified races.
The series hasn't always been the Whelan Modified Tour, and treating it like the preceding years didn't exist is like NASCAR normally re-writing history the way they want it.
