I believe this thread was started with the intent ( correct me if I'm wrong, Joe) of resurrecting a semblance of the modified production class car that was so popular in the 70s-80s. A high winding small block 5 speed car. Adding open body cars and automatics to the idea kills it with me before it gets started. The only reason people long for the "modified days" - it was a stick shift only class. Wild, unpredictable runs were the norm. To me, allowing an automatic car run in a modified class is blasphemy.
Herb, make it a REAL modified catagory or don't bother.

Thats fine, BUT their are few sticks out there today like that so you have to go with the trend - Sticks or Automatics, just make the payout higher for stick cars

Open body cars, i dont think that would work well

What about CID limits? What would they be, 335? 360? 355?

There would have to be rules such as any 23° head with any mods N/A or something to keep the class like Pro Stock {tight racing}
