Bring back super/mod...

Great ideas here...some are...well..a bit un-realistic?

How about 1960 and later cars....or 1965 and later? Not sure about letting the '50's stuff
in there...

Are you ready for a '62 Nova Super-Mod car?

Cam lift....somebody mentioned .700" max....another .550"...that's too SMALL! How about a compromise @ .650"...would require lower-cost valve springs than the higher lifts.

I LIKE the following.....

Single-disc clutch

NO cranktrigger...NO belt-drive...NO vacuum pump....NO aluminum heads or rods.....

Stud-mounted rockers...except Mopar engines...

Could be "swayed" into 10.5 tire...although I think 9" could work....

Someone mentioned ladder-bars only...would allowing traction systems like Cal-Tracs
or similar styles NOT be in the best interest of this class?

Have a problem with clutchless trans....MUST be clutch actuated IMHO!

Think small hood scoops could be allowed...or fibreglass hoods with scoops....Think that flat-hood ONLY rule would cause "identity" problem with Stock and SS cars...especially with the FANS....

WE DO want to put "fannies" in the stands....right GUYS?

Anybody?
