Interest in Modified?

Sorry....none of you guys remember the history of the bitter "bomb" the "great IHRA" gave modified and superstock....cut us right off...a lot of great racers were left hung out to dry and never returned.....and will never forget or forgive.

Mr. Davenport, Me and my brother were racing Modified when "They dropped the bomb" on us he hasn't raced since. I've obviously continued however I've not lost the Modified Mentality. I had my ***** handed to me in class run offs the first couple years of running my 6 cyl. combo but I didn't hide or jump class I went home and worked on it, hard to break old habits I guess. I've mostly regarded drag racing as a performance oriented sport, it just seems illogical to me for that to change in class racing.I'd just like to see if there are a few "old farts" like me that would like to have a class where you have to EARN= Qualify your way in thus being "rewarded" for your hard work. After all this is CLASS RACERS.com right? Thanks Joe Buchanan SS/AX SS/BX 3117

I'm with you on the idea........the overall interest just isn't there..........I was president of an association that I will not mention that kept class racing alive for a few years on its own......good and bad experiences.....I found out regretfully that too many so called "class" racers are in it just for themselves and their own selfish interest......very disappointing. Thanks for your continued interest but I'm afraid it is too late for a resurrection.
