Econo Modified

[randy wilson]

Todd, glad to hear I ain't the only idiot that thinks this would work. I also have Chris Paget of Comp Cams, Al Parker, of Parker engines, (he builds a lot of spec sprints), and the editor of Drag Illustrated, Wyatt Halden interested, and said he would put out a huge article on it if it evolved into a class. Does anyone remember the Midwest Drag Magazine that promoted an econo class dragster\altered with flat tops, and hydraulic cams? It never got off the ground for three reasons. One, they never gave it a real chance, two, any iron head, that I think you could modify, and three, no one even knew it existed. We damn sure don't want to make the same mistakes. Anyone that wants to slam this as eventually an out of control class, needs to understand there would be NO GREY AREA! The reason their econo class never took off was the unlimited selection, and modifications allowed to the head. In that case, yes, comp guys would rule. The head is the key, and the one truly limiting factor.
