Bring back super/mod...
 

The old s/m class was a good entry class to mod/elim.
Bring back the class with some rules that can be some what
affordable.

10.5 rear tire not 10.5w
cast iron head
any cast intake no sheet metal.
4-speed trans (like the old days)
single 4 bbl carb 850 or less.
porting allowed but no welding or epoxy
A B C classes like before.

Just some ideas...

I agree fully! I miss modified production in any form.

Re: Bring back super/mod...
 

I agree with the idea. Make it cheap by making it very limited. Cubic inch and wts. One carb size, No sheet metal manifolds, No Box, Stick or Auto doesnt matter . Stock Crank sizes. Flat top Pistons. Trophy Only prize except contingency. List the bodies legal, Duster, Nova, Camaro. Cage, 4 link, 9 inch rear or 12 bolt or Dana.

Sounds fun. The autos don't need the weight subsidy though.
We ran a SS/BS 69 Camaro in the 90's with a stick. Everything in that car was used except the gas and oil. It was still more expensive than a stocker.
I love the idea, but it won't be cheap.

And no FWD-conversion ''jellybean'' cars.

Re: Bring back super/mod...
 

I agree totally. Not that I'm smack dab in the middle of a 10.5 60 Corvette project, but I love the little motors and manual transmissions. I love Super/Stock and Stock, but if you watch the crowd reaction of, say a 10 Cobalt and then a crowd reaction to a moidified Chevy II or Corvette yankin gears....it's just more exciting. And that's what folks watch racing for....excitment! IMO. I would pay double to watch Modified and/or some type of drag racing where the driver actually did something between the starting line and 1250 feet. I did the S/G stuff, delay box, trans brake, throttle stop, let go of the button, then ride along, manage the finish line and that's it. I belive the enhancements mentioned do indeed provide more consistency. I will be using these in my SS/LA entry. But would love to see the driver be responsible for more of the run. No T-Brake, no air shift. No electronics, no Pneumatics. Just my opinion folks
