Mr. Herb, I can only speak for myself it would be more beneficial for me at least if tis race was ran maybe just prior to a Nat. or Div. race in the same area, I've not really had a chance to look at all the schedules yet. For some of us "up north" 10 maybe 12 hour drive this would be like killing 2 birds with one stone. I've also seen some conflicting ideas as to how this should be ran, can't say I agree with stick cars only,even though for over 20 years that's all I ran, there just aren't enough competitive, and by that I mean able to run under the index which is what mod. in all forms was designed for. I could really bring either car the Stick or the auto so it really isn't a deal breaker for me, however we have to face it the number of stick cars that could run "under" is pretty low.Me personally I'd like to see it run ALL door cars, mainly because the average spectator identifies with the door cars they've all seen a camaro, dart, mustang etc. To me one dragster pretty much looks like all the other dragsters,not putting anyone down, I've seen some dragsters that really impressed me a 4 cyl. 5-speed going low 8's I don't care who you are that is impressive. But for the most part when we ran Mod. it was big block and some small block chevys, I hope you get the point.I guess you put it out there when asking for suggestions, these are some of mine. Thanks Joe Buchanan SS/AX SS/BX 3117 First I think the racers would have to agree on the format and other considerations, heck heads up runs that was alot of the appeal of Mod. go fast or go home, believe me we were on both ends of that one.
