Comp racers seek to show eliminator is very much alive

Much as I love the original old school modified classes (those videos from Bowling Green are ones I can watch all the time) not too many of the "modern fans" NHRA seems to be catering to would give a damn about them. It would be nearly impossible to revive those classes, or the original Modified Eliminator as it was. The cost would be out of control over night, and NHRA would never want to bother with tech and factors in a class such as the old Modified Eliminator. Spec stuff and crate motors aren't going to help either.

I'd love to see it. But we can barely keep Stock and Super Stock from extinction. They seem to linger on the brink constantly.
