Interest in Modified?

Hey Joe!

It would be way to cool for IHRA to bring back modified, I am "all in" as I am sure Jamie would be too.
Might keep our buddy Donn from "retiring" huh?. I love having a modified car (even though its in SS) it is all I have ever wanted to do since seeing Don Bowles Fairmont when I was a kid. I drool at the thought of the high winding cars all racing each other off of records or indexes or whatever, but no chalk! The shame of all this is that IHRA probably could not administer the class fairly, look what happened to Top Stock.
Its not the people at the ground level, its the management that promotes the laissez faire attitude towards this type of racing "too much work". It would be really neat to let the 5 oh cars and the early type modifieds and heck even some of the surviving imports with the turbo motors race "Head Up" with a handicapped start and no break out!

It is probably all moot now that most of the front drive GT conversions are subtly disguised Comp cars. lets face it, we probably are racing in modified (with chalk) what with the ported heads and conversion cars. I know I am generalizing but hasn't stock really become super, and Super Stock is teetering on being modified? If I remember you could not do to the heads then what the "ss" guys are doing now.( I bet somebody will correct me)

Any how I do believe in positive posting and if it were ever to bear fruit, I know I can speak for two crazy Canadians that would be in the tech line up, no matter how slow we were!

Joe I never got to see the new car, how did it turn out?
