Who is Modern Motorsports?
Modern Motorsports first opened in December of 2001. We are owned and operated by original proprietor TJ Corcoran. TJ has 20+ years experience building and made quite a name for himself participating in many model shows and contests in the 1990’s & early 2000’s in the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. His cars were featured in several publications and constantly drew questions from attending show goers, particularly questions about how to make many of the scratchbuilt pieces used on his models. The events of September 11th, 2001 put a large strain on a struggling NAPA chain, who’s flagship store & office resided less than 10 miles from the Pentagon, that TJ had worked as a Director of Store Operations. Within 2 months several of the largest accounts had closed and people were becoming increasingly tight with their money afraid of what would happen with the economy. The stores were officially put on the auction block in November leaving TJ at a crossroads. Havi
