Here are a few snippets from an article Ray's Brother Ron Hedger wrote incase you don't know the legend that was Ray Hedger!
-Hedger’s racing career had many facets, ranging from fielding NASCAR modifieds for veteran Dick Clark, shepherding his brother Randy to a pair of NASCAR modified championships at the Shangri-La Speedway and fabricating numerous small block supermodifieds for Oswego Speedway, where he was honored with membership in the Oswego Speedway Hall of Fame.
-His “house cars,” wheeled by Russ Brown, consistently held the Oswego track record and numerous other drivers had great success in his ever-evolving designs as well. Four of Brown’s five Oswego SBS championships came driving a car out of Hedger’s shop.
Hedger was also known in the New York racing community for “tweaking” both dirt and asphalt cars of all types and making them significantly faster. Additionally, he served as crew chief for the NASCAR Whelan modified tour and Craftsman Truck efforts of New Jersey based Bruce Driver and Tony Vecchio’s NASCAR Busch North car driven by Jerry Marquis. Another Busch North program saw Russ Brown driving a car owned by his father, Doug.
-Hedger was also highly regarded for the unique hot rods he built after retiring. A master of the English Wheel, he was nationally known for fabricating body parts for antique car restorations and restoring old signs and gas pumps.
