Re: OLD Modified Corvettes
How about a list of actual racers who would actually attend. Who writes the final rules? Do I need to attend the PRI show? I think that quick is a little premature, but I damn sure will meet, or discuss with any in power to get their thoughts, and present my case. I know if NHRA, and, or IHRA don't do something to bring back some interest in local, affordable no break out racing, we are near the end of drag racing as a spectator sport. If i'm the one who is responsible for the rules, then by nature, I'll tend to see the rules only in my light. I would love to see it go, but
I think we would have to present a realistic car count, and racers by nature tend to see how something plays out, before jumping in.

Re: OLD Modified Corvettes
Also Dick, Top stock, and Top SS are already out there. I know of zero spec cars totally ready to roll. What we have to realize is, a body dumb enough to dump Modified, is probably dumb enough to never try it again. Just me thinking out loud. No one will buy the heads until they know it's a go.

Re: OLD Modified Corvettes
Randy I agree whole heartedly.
Time for more research with the ORGs. |

Re: OLD Modified Corvettes
How about a couple of prototype entries at the Class Nationals for a good 'ol "gear-
jammin...wheel-standing...door-slamming" 2 out of 3 match race? Great place to showcase this idea...as you stated earlier, Dick.... Got to run it by Mike B. though..... |

Re: OLD Modified Corvettes
I would furnish a spec motor, for a reputable SS guy, that's 322 cubes. It's the biggest I have but someone would have to let me know, because It's in pieces right now. There. I put my money where my mouth is. Or, I could put in in the cobalt, if it don't sell. I know it's not a legal spec car, but they would get the drift. The deuce ain't done, and won't ever get done unless something like this goes.

Re: OLD Modified Corvettes
I would furnish both engines if need be, but the problem is, one is a 289 c.i. I have another I have not ever ran, that I built right before I closed the track, and it's still on the stand together, 285 c.i. but has not even been dynoed. Hate to take a chance, unless I know all party's will be happy. Now, just for example, I built that 285 for under $10,000. And the 289, with some used parts, such as crank, pistons, for under $8,000, and it produced 592 H.P.
