Interest in Modified?

I have had the honer to race modified starting in '92 till the end. Great group of people in the class. Sorry to see it end.
The thing that was most enjoyable is that it was a 32 qualified field. I learned how to make stuff faster and more competitive at times and how to really go the other way with it and go slower. Modified had some damn good drivers. If the class was offered to run again I would jump in with both feet. It was a very cost effective weight to cubic inch class compared to comp that is. At least for me it was. I say IHRA throw it on the table see what response you get. I'll check the yes box.

All of you guys have some good points about Modified

I also had a thought very close to this, They come out with like a 283-310 class, 327-360 class and a 383-410 class and a 396-433 class and so on

Have it sort of like Pro Stock, Tunnel Ram with 2 carburetors, and race the engines in weight/hp classes or in CID classes

Basically have the rules like must have tunnel ram with two carburetors, no injection, no N.O.S, pretty much any mods as long as its a 23° head

Make rules on transmissions such as nothing Exotic. Make it for the guy who dreams about racing like a Pro in a heads up class but make it affordable and easy to race, if they dont make a class thats easy to get started in without big sponsorship or alot of $$$ Drag Racing is living a limited life

This is just reflecting my opinion, so my overall answer is YES or a similar class
