Same car.

You guys are each talking about different cars. The Leal Dart Sport S/S car that Gale Mortimer drove is on Racing Junk right now also in Virginia.

I was talking about the Duster I bought. It WAS on Racing Junk before I bought it but it doesn't matter now.

Brodix spec heads for all three brands and internal oil pump and pan access to keep it to just pump and race. Hoped to get it listed as ONE class with four barrel. See the support and then if it catchs on always run it separate. It could be expanded to 2 or 3 wt breaks but start simple. Bring out the old Modified cars, SS cars etc and limit to regular manifold no sheet metal.
Hope since this is Mod site people would hear it more favorably.
Interested?

This class is currently run at a track in Missouri with GREAT success. All three brands within .02 seconds et of fast cars.
How about the post showing 39 cars first round C/SM. Guess there was interest in the limited motor/tire format.

Dick, what track in Missouri is currently running the Modified class you mentioned? Any Mopars competing? Is there a website for rules/results info?

Thanks
