Re: Comp racers seek to show eliminator is very much alive
 
I am surprised that they have not already reduced the number of events, running at the regionals such as TAD and TAFC.

I mean you'd be lying if you said that all forms of class racing aren't seeing a decline turnout?

I was thinking a few guys would offer suggestions to help our Comp friends.

How about a nostalgia Super Modified for 1st gen Camaros and Chevy II's ?
Maybe a spec or crate motor, stick shift deal?
Main problem with one class and index...As soon as one guy beats up the index, the rest of the new guys will be chasing him around with pitchforks.
Maybe this one needs some fine tuning.
A place to start a dialogue from, anyway.
I like this. But we were basically turned down because they didn't think the class would be fast enough with a spec head. Crate anything will never go over in comp.

I too would love to run comp, but the cost factor we kill me. Not many people can afford to be on the dyno at least once a month or more. Also in the old school modified classes it would be to hard to police the cylinder heads no matter what rules dictate. Somebody will always find a way to bend them. They have been many posts on the subject on Spec heads and engines but once again someone will bend the rules.

Works in 360 sprints. Way more populated then the open 410's. They have Brodix tech the head. I've seen several booted out.

Back then there was top qualifier money also, I remember some went for that, as it paid their fuel bill to get to and from the races.

Someone had the Sportnationals from Diamond P ( remember them !) on facebook last week and the commentator was saying that the winner < Bobby Warren, just won 8 thousand dollars ....In 1978.... That's the same as last years US Nationals SS winner ( if everybody pays him) .....40 years later
Great post, Jeff.
