OLD Modified Corvettes

Boy, here is a thread that got my attention. Modified Production, if there is any plan to bring this back please hurry. Not to be repeatitious, but no drag car makes the sound of those high winding small blocks with the dana rear section, cut 4 speed transmissions and the tunnel rams. Those bigh flywheels kept those engines winding. As some one already said, put that thing on the floor and slip your foot off the clutch and you are on a ride. Kinston Dragway had a race every year that was advertised as Gas and Modified race. I can almost hear old Charlie Brown and Tommy Walker on WKIX Radio in Raleigh advertising that race a week before it happened. I saw this thread after spending a whole week-end in Drag Race History. I have some photos of old Modified Production cars and I will get busy tonight getting some scanned to post. Thanks for the thread.
