You might want to check out 10.5 Outlaw or any of the Drag Radial classes before you say ONLY reason 
I am pretty sure after watching those guys run 180+ mph in 1/8 mile on a 10.5" or smaller tire, you might have a different thought lol
agreed
the outlaw is bad a*%. A good friend races one 180 mph in 4.5 seconds…
Mod 8… this thread isn’t bout drag racing…its about calling us something different…As long as the rules don’t change and the car counts keep staying good…the name doesn’t matter to me…
Just watched em on youtube for a bit. I’d go check that out.
I think this is a good idea if you could get enough guys to support it. I remember running and it’s been a while so the height could be wrong think we were aloud 10 inch on the back and tall sides on the front noise when I believe FASCAR bought the SARA series. IMO never gave it enough time to catch on. I enjoyed racing modifieds until they spit the class into two classes. I race them for along time remember racing on treaded McCreary’s at Orlando when I first started. Good luck and hope it works out I will come and watch if it does.
