An Idea for the Future

Not knocking Super Gas but I get tired of explaining to friends/co-workers how and why they run like they do off of the starting line. Modified WOULD put a few people back in the stands because they could identify with it much easier plus who in their right minds doesn't like to see a car wheelstand? Ed, I agree with you on the Comp Eliminator issue. While D4 had a bunch of Comp cars (Rickie Klarr, James Cox, Lindley Isonhood,etc), the Modified Elim/Gas class cars littered the place. I was discussing this same thing last year with Eddie Conrad. We can only dream that NHRA would create something close to Modified Eliminator again but it is not in their agenda since it would not make them money. Still is hard to believe that this class has been gone almost thirty years. These cars were responsible for creating this drag racing disease inside of me.
