Bring back super/mod...

John Leichtamer Jr · 08-14-2012, 08:36 PM

The old s/m class was a good entry class to mod/elim.
Bring back the class with some rules that can be some what
affordable.

10.5 rear tire not 10.5w
cast iron head
any cast intake no sheet metal.
4-speed trans (like the old days)
single 4 bbl carb 850 or less.
porting allowed but no welding or epoxy
A B C classes like before.

Just some ideas...

I agree fully! I miss modified production in any form.

I agree with the idea. Make it cheap by making it very limited. Cubic inch and wts. One carb size, No sheet metal manifolds, No Box, Stick or Auto doesnt matter . Stock Crank sizes. Flat top Pistons. Trophy Only prize except contingency. List the bodies legal, Duster, Nova, Camaro. Cage, 4 link, 9 inch rear or 12 bolt or Dana.

Sounds fun. The autos don't need the weight subsidy though.
We ran a SS/BS 69 Camaro in the 90's with a stick. Everything in that car was used except the gas and oil. It was still more expensive than a stocker.
I love the idea, but it won't be cheap.

And no FWD-conversion ''jellybean'' cars.

C/SM = 9lb per CID
800 cfm carb limit
Any factory produced iron head

I would love to see a nostalgia pro stock series formed.
Go back to 1970, look up the rules for the time(updates for safety of course), any year before Lenco transmissions, 4 speed only, clutches! YIKES!Back when you could tell from the stands what make the car was!
Start bangin' some gears baby!
I know it would tough but you don't know if you don't try.
