To be lined up and getting focused to race and then at the last minute being told that you were 'on hold' is disRESPECTful to a driver. The sprints weren't even lined up! If the modifieds had been able to qualify maybe there would not have been as many cautions. Thank you the the tracks who realize this. These modified drivers put as much time and money in their cars as the next driver. And we do have exciting races! Everyone is faithful to their own class as well it should be--But can't we all just get along and not put down each other?! Racing is racing!

And DM, this guy has been going to races for most of his life, watching his uncle race late models (almost 20 years and a track champion) and his great-uncle racing sprints. So the remarks about following his brother (who has 3 championships) and not a short track follower is untrue. And he doesn't just "follow" his brother, they are a TEAM.

The fact of the matter is, ITS A SUPPORT CLASS! EXPECT TO BE CRAPPED ON!

You have two choices. Move to a headliner class or stay home.

And technically a Mod is a STOCK CAR with a panhard bar, Rear steer and roof. No quick change, Torsion bars.

BTW, I have no problem with the mods, They are usually a great support class and sometimes can be a headliner.

Chuck, not trying to be mean, Just factual. Try being the bomber class, Hopefully you'll get your feature before curfew.
