Stock Diameter cam and lifter rule savings-------------------------------$1000
9" Deck block rule, No titanium drive line parts-savings -------------??????
The rules used can be re posted Stick car rules save $23-25,000.
Tech with scope in pan or heads.
Just wanted to add these amounts to suggest the value of changing one Mod class rule set or adding to save costs.

So Dick, since you are limiting the class to a 9" deck, why not call it Chevy/GM Econo Mod class?
A Mopar small block has a 9.6" deck height and Ford has 3 deck heights: 8.2, 9.2 and 9.5.
By the way, Titanium is already prohibited in the Modified classes.
So, you have to pull the timing cover to check the cam diameter?
Like I someone said earlier, local tracks can run such type of class, at national event level, it will not happen. It would require a teardown at every event.
