I believe this thread was started with the intent ( correct me if I'm wrong, Joe) of resurrecting a semblance of the modified production class car that was so popular in the 70s-80s. A high winding small block 5 speed car. Adding open body cars and automatics to the idea kills it with me before it gets started. The only reason people long for the "modified days" - it was a stick shift only class. Wild, unpredictable runs were the norm. To me, allowing an automatic car run in a modified class is blasphemy.
Herb, make it a REAL modified catagory or don't bother.

With all due respect and having a race with as many cars as possible would be nice lets allow only TRUE 4 SPEEDS none of these trannys we have today.........with that being said no we cant do that...if they fit the old rules from 2000 they can race. Wt break for auto and everything.....No heads up runs.....I have been talking to a few people already, we have some big ideas for this and we cant exclude anyone.

I can put you guys in front of 4000 spectators if you can race on Friday July 3rd, and if you have never raced at a local track on a Thursday or Friday night in front of a packed house you dont know what your missing.

Ok so what about July 2nd and 3rd, Ill do a Stock SS combo on Friday and a Modified only race on Thursday July 2nd.

Feedback Please....
