Bring back super/mod...

In like the lower classes, were there two many? Yes, for NHRA, but you would have to know our area, and participants. In the upper classes, no. I think when you have an index of .01 per half lb. in the eighth, and .015 for quarter, it takes care of itself. We ran dragsters against superstockers, with a brodix spec head only in upper classes, and racing was extremely close. We were real loose on chassis limitations, and actually, the door cars won more then the pro stock type, or dragsters. But some of the superstock guys were close to NHRA standards in performance, so they knew what they were doing. We went in 1\2 lb. increments to fit everybody in. It was a survival mode, but it worked out good there. One 23T driver could make anything competitive, and he gave everyone fits. In the lower classes, they were limited to 200 CC heads, in 20 degree ford, 23 degree chevy, and 18 degree chrysler, iron only. No porting, except for hot stock.

But Dick, with all that being said, I like one wt. like 3000lbs. one motor size, like 330 or anything reasonable. It's just that on a local level, you have to diversify, on a divisional level, I think the head, cam, rocker arm, trans. and tire companys would eat this up. And, I'm sold about the pro tree, it's the best way to go. I do know that for a fact. It is possible, and like I said, the head companys could help police it, especially with the $500 protest, and exchange. Send the winner, and or, the fastest time recorded racer's head back to manufactorer, for verification. One time Dave Rodder from brodix was at the 360 nationals, and they had him look at a winners heads, and his comment was, "Ray Charles could see that head is illegal", and out he went.
