EDDIE was without a doubt the "GREATEST MODIFIED DRIVER OF
HIS TIME & MAYBE ALL TIME."  Eddie did most of his racing 
in an era where points and championships did not pay much 
money, and winning races did!  As Ed once said "you can't 
eat trophies." Ed would most often race at a track that was 
paying a large purse then one that was giving a lot of 
points,  which is why his name is not on the list of 
National Modified Champions.  Ed was the original "EASTERN 
BANDIT" who went to the Southern Short Tracks and took all 
their money.  Eddie was the innovator of the split spring 
front end which became known as the "FLEMKE FRONT END" and 
was a genius in understanding the working of the race car 
chassis when no one else even thought about it. Ed had over 
600 wins that can be documented, and probably another 300 
to 400 there is no record of.
