Cathy Dwinal waves from the passenger seat of husband Gary Dwinal’s street-legal Troyer Chassis tour type modified racecar Wednesday at the Oxford Plains Speedway. Gary Dwinal is a former racer who used to compete at the Oxford track in the 1970s and ’80s. In 2016, he built the engine that currently allows the vehicle to run, and in 2020 came out of retirement and won the Oxford 250 weekend open wheel modified race. “It was neat winning at my home track here after 30 years,” he said. That car matches the one he uses today but this one has space for Cathy to ride with him, a modification Gary described as a challenge that took as long as the rest of the vehicle restoration combined. (Libby Kamrowski Kenny/Staff Photographer) Cathy and Gary Dwinal smile Wednesday from the front seat of his street-legal Troyer Chassis tour type modified racecar in the camping area of the Oxford Plains Speedway. He knows how to handle it, as a former racer who used to compete at the Oxford track in the 1970s and ’80s. In 2016, he built the engine that currently allows the vehicle to run, and in 2020 came out of retirement and won the Oxford 250 weekend open wheel modified race. “It was neat winning at my home track here after 30 years,” he said. That car matches the one he uses today but he added a passenger seat so that his wife could ride in the racecar with him. They’ll be rooting for driver DJ Shaw in the Oxford 250 this weekend.
