How Many People who suggested support for a Mod class have sent a note to NHRA TECH department? I have contacted two tech officials with reference to the thread and will call when back in the office. Lets go guys. The squeaky wheel DOES get attention. Espceiallly if they see a line of entrants developing for their Points meets, etc.

I'm not a newbie to the web-site nor to old school modified racing, but this is my first post...... First of all I'm a huge fan of the 70s era modified racing and this would be something I could see myself thinking about getting involved in. If a class like this would ever make a comeback, I like the idea of spec heads and all the other steps to keep costs as low as possible. I like the fact that you would have to use the clutch with each shift. With that being said, I don't think a class like this should have automatic transmissions. When people talk about the old modified classes you hear about the heavy flywheels, dry hops, the high rpm launches and getting air in almost every gear.

If this is something to be taken serious, I would start a new thread to get a buzz and some more feed back. I hate that the old modified Corvette thread got hijacked, but it did bring up some good stuff and by the way, I love seeing the modified Corvettes and the videos of the stick cars.
