I agree

At every national event I ever entered, I would drop everything and run to the stands when Modified Eliminator came up to run. That was the best show on the program!

Modified was the best absolutely. I was involved with a couple cars and spent time in the lanes when Modified ran in the late '70s at some events. We had a huge number of really good cars here in the northeast. C/SM at the SummerNationals for class had over 20 cars the last couple years. MP Corvettes were my favorites and then Hutchens showed up with the Opel in B/G or maybe C/A...he had everyone covered. If your gonna post pictures......Ya gotta get the one of Garley Daniels on the back bumper with the grey Nova......C/SM cars did some of the wildest wheelstands.....wheelie bars were NOT legal...all the way into 3rd gear in a '69 Camaro and way up in the air......my buddy did that and went 10.60 at E-Town after going 10.42 earlier
