That's the loophole that let the 67 Chevy II in, rather than Camaros only.
Right ,Garley Daniels? My car is an old Garley Daniels, but his cars were C/SM. Tom

I also wonder if it's intent was to keep the early Corvettes out? As you may recall, early Corvettes in that era dominated the Modified ranks particularly because of engine setback. If you recall, Super Mod had a 10.5 tire rule so the Corvettes would have had a distinct traction advantage.

Yep, 67 or newer 2dr only, fiberglass limited to hood only, and minimum wheelbase of around 101 " if I remember correctly. Enough to keep the Corvettes out of Super Modified.

Yeah, but the Mavericks would still kill them with HP

The Corvettes wheel base was to short for S/M!

I see they kept the cage requirements down to GT/GA even after they changed the weight breaks but state that if you run 9.99 or under a cage must be installed. I figured they had moved it down to GT/KA and never bothered checking.
