OLD Modified Corvettes

[Todd Bailey]

Lot of old Super Gas cars to be had. When you talk of cheap and inexpensive, I am thinking stock chassis/suspension. Basically about like an old Super Modified car. I like the stick shift only/no electronics part!! Hell, they added the Top Sportsman stuff why not a class or two like this?

The year ain't that important to me, but just so everyone knows, an old car will be .05 to ,1 slower then say an F body. I have no problem with a 2 4 barrel class, as long as it's still a cast aluminum intake, and available. As long as there is a min. wt. you'll find there ain't a lot there. We ran every type car in the world over there, and seen nothing except the lbs. per cube difference. I am not sure on the disadvantages of older, boxier cars, just relaying what I'm told.

If NHRA would back this, the floodgates would open. Wyatt Halden already told me, he'd do a whole article on it, and be at the opener. Let the head company's make the call on the heads, and you have to make tech easy, and I have, what I think are real good solutions, if it ever gets that far. They need to realize, if they do it, you can't announce it one week, and expect it to work the next. It needs to be announced a year in advance, to get ready, and get sponsors ready.

Randy, I got permission from my Div Director to run TOP/SS and TOP/STK at national opens and a points meet. That would be a perfect test for your guys to show what it is like to NHRA racers. At least that is one method if BIG officials frown on it.PRI show will be good place to bring up the BASIC MODIFIED idea again as Cheap and popular.
