OLD SCHOOL STICK-SHIFT RACING FROM THE 1980S

For the latest in drag racing news, visit www.competition....
Crank up the speakers, and sit back for a symphony of high-winding small block action. Thanks for Super Stock racer Jim Reynolds, we are able to provide this action from the Sportsman Class Racers Association, a group created when the IHRA in 1988 killed class racing in favor of heads-up, indexed racing. For two seasons, the SCRA thrived in the Carolinas and Virginia with major sponsorship from Moroso. Eventually many of the racers returned to IHRA when class racing did, but many simply quit.

Someone PLEASE resurrect the old modified class so a whole new generation of fans can enjoy these types of cars, not to mention us older fans who fondly remember it!
