Bring back super/mod...

Just thinking. Would not limiting rear gear ratios to rear tire size help limit extra high revs from engines. IE 5.88gears with 32" tire

Nothing against the .90 racers (Those will always be around) but I would MUCH rather watch Super Mod than Top Sportsman or Top Dragster. The fans would LOVE the variety and could really identify with individual cars. My belief is that old Modified racers would come out of the woodwork to somewhat relive their old Modified days. I was just a bit too young to run Modified back in the day but would seriously take a look at doing this. Guess my thoughts are what cars would be allowed to run this. Tubbed cars with 4 links or possibly keeping it similiar to what it was when it began in the late seventies with slapper bars?

People want to here a certain amount of RPM. Maybe, 6.20, and 31in. tall tire. Possibly have a spec tire with heads, and possibly a spec gear. Slapper bars are out my friends. Most cars of that era have been backhalfed.

I love the high rpm smallblocks banging gears as i have 6.50 gears and 32" tires in my old modified car and it still hooks good with its ladder bar leaf suspension. Evan still have a old liberty geared hemi 4spd that was in the car in the early 70s

Randy, Did you post the total package your track ran , cu in heads chassis etc?

I think that a lb per cubic inch rule would work a lot better than a limit on the ci. That way you can allow for big blocks to come into the equation, this the possibility to have even more cars into the equation.

I love the idea. I have a 70 Dart I was building to run SS Modified, but this would be more fun by a long shot!

I believe adding big blocks to the class would add complexity and additional costs, therefore, it should be small blocks only in the same fashion as Pro Stock trucks used to be.

I could see that. Was just an idea I had to allow more of the sitting and/or bracket cars to move into the class with ease, thus having a higher car count. The complexity would obviously go up, but that is going to happen with higher car counts.

If this class would ever get off the ground I would jump in with both feet, whichever path it would go down!
