As much as we all loved Modified Eliminator and it never should have been dropped when it was, I believe it would have slowly died or dwindled anyway...

To much breakage and expensive to stay competitive....and I was involved with cars that ran it so I know first hand.....I saw guys quit after breaking an engine and just say enough is enough.....

Competition eliminator is the modern day equivalent of modified and just look at the car counts there at many races.....unsustainable ….

You guys are also talking about them dropping Modified Production in the early 80’s. When the .90 classes started it was an affordable way to get into racing for most and there were no throttle stops at the time so fans enjoyed it. “WE” did it to ourselves and NHRA just let it go, it’s like telling your kid to go to the market to get milk and bread and they come home with candy, doughnuts & soda. If they wanted to keep it in check, they would have set a mph limit, cubic inc limit on motors or lowered the index’s. It got out of hand and because it’s still a money maker for NHRA, $320 to enter for $1,800 to win and you’re taking 50-70 cars per class, why get rid of it?
