In eastern Wisconsin, there was another type of "modified" when I was a kid in the 80s. Kind of a cross between a sprint car and a legends car. A handful of drivers graduated to the IRA sprints from those mods. They ran at Wilmot, Hales Corners, Manitowoc, and other tracks in that area. Ex-HOSS driver Tim Cox raced them for several years before going pavement racing.
In the later years, some of the cars had bodies similar to the eastern big block cars (a smaller version) and they ran with a wing at some tracks. Just an example of how cars can evolve regionally.
