See the support and then if it catchs on always run it separate. It could be expanded to 2 or 3 wt breaks but start simple. Bring out the old Modified cars, SS cars etc and limit to regular manifold no sheet metal.
Hope since this is Mod site people would hear it more favorably.
Interested?

This class is currently run at a track in Missouri with GREAT success. All three brands within .02 seconds et of fast cars.
How about the post showing 39 cars first round C/SM. Guess there was interest in the limited motor/tire format.

Dick, what track in Missouri is currently running the Modified class you mentioned? Any Mopars competing? Is there a website for rules/results info?

Thanks

Bethany Missouri. They opened last weekend just to see the interest. They just had a fun run, and over 1,000 spectators, and 80 cars showed up to show their support. I went also. They said the turnout was great, and they have a racers meeting this winter, and hash out the rules. Since 67 this track has ran no breakout racing. Will keep Dick posted. Sent him a PM but he hasn't responded yet.

Facebook- the speed shop. Do a search. I think it will come up with pictures of the crowd last weekend, and some cars. I know news will be posted there.
