OLD Modified Corvettes

Wade Mahaffey · 10-14-2013, 07:45 PM

Are you looking for photos of the cars, or looking to buy a car, or doing something about the history of these cars? There are a few Facebook pages with reference to these cars. Try these out, but if you want photos I have a file with a bunch taken from different places on the web

Ihra-Nhra VETTES-Modifieds -Gassers ONLY !!!!

Stock/super STOCK Corvettes.

Hey vette1 and Mike,

Thanks for the PR.

Just FYI, if anyone is wanting to bring gas and modified back, count me in.
Not sure that was the question, but I'm sure there are many more like me.

If you're wanting any info or pictures let me know.

Remember the song by Justin Timberlake, "I'm bringing sexy back"
That would be modified eliminator.

Thanks again.

I throw my hat in the ring for bring back "gas and modifieds" ...the best competition our North Carolina tracks have ever had that had rules ( handicapped/cubic inch/weight)that everyone could meet, afford and be competitive

When I first started going racing with my brother in 1981, IHRA Modified Production was in its heyday. As was mentioned earlier 40# flywheels, Dana 60's with 6.83 gears, 10,500+ and side step the clutch, and if the engine was bigger than 300c.i. it was unusual. One of the mega RPM cars I remember was mentioned earlier, Fred Whites vette. I remember looking at the old Moroso tack with the reset needle and it was always pushed past the numbers on the dial. The pits then was a corvette car show. Don Jackson
