The IHRA does have classes in Super Stock that are probably the closest thing today to Modified Production.....the current classes are 'Super Stock Production' and I'm glad to say we have quite a few racers that run these classes in the Carolinas. Some classes are single carb 4 barrel and some are single carb 2 barrel.
Jimmy Flynt w 66 Chevy 2 327 4-speed, Mike Boyles (sp?) with a '57 chevy wagon 283 4-speed , Gil Carty with a Chevy 2, James Stoneman with a sbc 4-speed 68 Chevy 2, Mark Young old and new Mustang,are just a few SS/Production racers and many of them are manual transmission cars. I think a member here by the name of Jim Reynolds runs a SS/PAA '57 Chevy and a '60 Vette.
There is probably some video action of these cars on Youtube if ya search for 'em
Okay...I couldn't resist....here is Boyles in his Good Ol' Charlie Brown '57 wagon way back in 1993....car is raced in the same configuration today iirc.
*look at the fans in the stands...packed to the hilt and all are on their feet*
