Re: An Idea for the Future
 
Not knocking Super Gas but I get tired of explaining to friends/co-workers how and why they run like they do off of the starting line. Modified WOULD put a few people back in the stands because they could identify with it much easier plus who in their right minds doesn't like to see a car wheelstand? Ed, I agree with you on the Comp Eliminator issue. While D4 had a bunch of Comp cars (Rickie Klarr, James Cox, Lindley Isonhood,etc), the Modified Elim/Gas class cars littered the place. I was discussing this same thing last year with Eddie Conrad. We can only dream that NHRA would create something close to Modified Eliminator again but it is not in their agenda since it would not make them money. Still is hard to believe that this class has been gone almost thirty years. These cars were responsible for creating this drag racing disease inside of me.

Bobby, as an automotive journalist why don't you try and get an interview with Gracia,Bruce and Graham Light about these new cars?And ask them the tough questions being addressed on Class Racer?[/QUOTE]

Now there's a good start for an article right there. It's called investigative journalism.

Comp in 1977-1981 when we ran it was not all run. Div 3 was 16 cars at WCS meets.
National events was either 16 or 32 cars
Indy was 64 cars

Jim that's already been in the works, just takes time to finish.

So I guess few want to talk about the possibilities of this.

And yes, I am building a new car for one of those classes.
