How about a sealed GM class? a spec motor class? I know many will complain about "change" but everytime a new set of factors come out THAT IS CHANGE an inch at a time.... allows new dime rockets, encourages new bogus motors.
With all the replacement heads now available what would be the "real" difference of allowing a SPEC motor parallel to one motor now available but make it legal everywhere and in ALL cars.(GT does this now with factored motors) Or just 2 or three Mod classes to test it.

Dick - I applaud your constant hammering on the crate motor/spec motor thing to try to encourage an environment for more heads up racing. However, I am hesitant then to applaud the idea that this will reduce the cost of building a Stock/SS type car. Expense of technology is harder to arrest in drag racing than in any kind of circuit auto racing. Maybe an inclusion of a spec motor/crate motor with additional limitations of technology would be more successful than an additional class group (Mod) that would race outside the current set of classes. NHRA has just done that, so it would be hard to have a second instance.
