Default Re: Modified Eliminator Wars in the 70's

I miss the Modified Production day's with their high revving engines and leaving the starting line with the engine screaming!!!

Why would any sanctioning body do a way with what was one of the most popular classes ever?

It never made any sense to me but they sure lost a lot of racers when they did it.

Yeah, me too. If I remember correctly, it was (allegedly) due to reduced participation or some other b.s. excuse, only to be replaced by a heads-up 9.90 bracket racing eliminator called Super Gas. A really 'smart' move NHRA, incorporating bracket racing category into your national event program.

Let's see now, the hot combo being a big block Chevy with a 'glide, trans brake, single 4-barrel carb, etc.. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz......
