SMVR Race Tracks for 2025

2025 SMVR Presented by & Trophy Dash Sponsors

2025 Contingency Award Sponsors

 About Us:

  

In 2001 a group of racers decided to start a Vintage Racing Club in the Kansas City area. They recruited some racers to bring back some nostalgic racing. They built some cars from a simple set of rules, got some tracks to let them race and bring back some racing memories of days gone by.


"A True Fast Blast From The Past"


The mission of this club is to bring back some Nostalgia to racing and cars that are identifiable and to show people what their Dad's and Grandfather's used to race.  


SMVR is a group of racers committed to keeping the memory of racing from the past and race cars alive. Vintage years  from the 1920’s through the 1970’s with Rules are designed to provide affordable and competitive racing as well as a unique and entertaining experience for the Fans!


Thank you to all who follow and support the Series.

    Legacy Member: Mickey Fleehart

    In Memory

     2/1/1951-3/3/2023

    Car #7, Odessa, MO
    Replica-1941 Ford Coupe, 355 Engine
    Started Racing: 1969 (Street)
     

    Mickey was born in 1951 in Beloit, Wisconsin. He began his racing journey with drag racing in the early 1970s and later joined an oval track pit crew from 1974 to 1978. Between 1979 and 1985, he competed at Rockford Speedway in both Late Models and 4-Cylinder Cars. In 2000, Mickey helped co-found the Show Me Vintage Racing (SMVR) club alongside Jim Cox.

    Mickey shared 22 years with his wife, Christy Fleehart, who stood by his side through it all. Christy played a vital behind-the-scenes role in helping grow the SMVR Series, contributing her time and support to its continued success.

    In addition to the vintage car featured above, Mickey also raced his B Modified starting in 2007. Vintage racing, however, remained closest to his heart. As he once said, “The racing’s great, but the friendships are even better!”

    On March 3, 2023, the Lord called Mickey home. His kindness, leadership, and unwavering dedication to vintage racing will be remembered—and missed—by all who knew him.

    Jim Cox

    Car # 34,

    ​Jim Cox, Co-Founder of the Show Me Vintage Racing (SMVR) series in 2001, has been a driving force behind the vintage racing movement long before the club officially began. Prior to SMVR’s formation, Jim raced his vintage cars against various classes, working hard to generate interest and encourage others to build and race vintage machines.

    His dedication didn’t stop at promotion—Jim personally built the first nine vintage cars in SMVR, including the one driven by Mickey Fleehart for over 20 years.

    We sincerely thank Jim for his vision, leadership, and hands-on contributions that helped shape SMVR into what it is today. Vintage car racing wouldn’t be where it is without him.
