Comp racers seek to show eliminator is very much alive

[SSDiv6]

For my return to racing, I seriously considered building a Super Stock Modified car. However, saw it more viable to build a Comp Super Modified.

One of my biggest issues in building the car was dealing with NHRA as regards to the rules on what is and is not allowed. When asked on a specific change on the car based on my interpretation of the rule book, I was usually told No. Then I would ask why it was allowed on a specific car, I never got an answer or response.

I know this same issue has happened to many friends that race in Super Stock GT in regards to what is allowed and not allowed in the class.

So, after much debate and a long discussion and email exchanges with Bruce at NHRA, and with my chassis builder buddy, I decided to build the car for Comp Super Modified class.

Another consideration was the drivetrain. There is not much difference between a Comp engine and a Super Stock Modified engine and most of the cars are running the same transmissions and rearends.

As regards to Comp dying, I don't see that happening soon. There are other cars being built and even Bob Book on his Facebook page shared he can't keep with the demand for Comp engines and has a backlog.

So, in a nutshell, I am looking forward to racing next year in Comp Super Modified with a 1994 Ford Mustang Cobra, with an awesome recent paint finish by Super Stock racer Sean Cour and Allen Sherman power.
