Well I see this is still ALMOST alive. Facts that you can take to the bank.
1. More Vintage ground pounders are being sold on EBAY and other places than regular classes of cars.
2. Super Dirt week is by far the biggest week in racing other than Speed weeks.
3. The talk up North is real steel and bodies that look like a race car. Seen the drawings of the PT Cruiser well one is being built in Carolina.
With the $$$ shrinking and the fans along with it MAYBE we the owners and rivers need to understand we are in Show Business and put on a show for them.

all i here is we are trying to keep cost down on open wheel modifieds

thats why we run 8 inch threaded tires . well how much do you think 70 %of open wheel modifieds spend on all goodies - shocks engines - gold tracks just to get that extra 100.000 of a second then when one guy is little faster spend more

put them on ten inch tires and two barrels

Well, I think maybe the Speedweeks Open Wheel weekend at CCMP might be a go, because I noticed on the http://www.OutlawModified.com website, they have this posted:

UPDATE

the cars shown in that ad are the local 4-Cylinder "Outlaw" mods... nothing even remotely close to the Tour-type cars talked about earlier. Nothing against this class, as I really like these cars, but they are completely different.

The real Tour mods will be at NSS, and if they put on a show even remotely close to last years finale, it will be well worth the price to see them.

Good Luck with the CCMP show, but I'm guessing it will be entirely local cars.

really just "Mod Mini Stocks" with no front quarter panels.

About 1984 here in fla. I was the creater /wrote the rules and build the first cars,of what is now http://www.OutlawModified.com ,they started out as "Super 4" then we did a small name change to "Pro4" and lastly "OutlawModified",they were by me designed to be a smaller size ( 4 banger) north east modified fast low$,but over the years some things have happened to the class,like taking the roofs off and adding some higher dollor motor parts that was by then out of my control.
They were not and are not like mini mod late models that cost about x2 to run.
Just to clear up stuff.
Now that the Pinto motors are getting far and few,the class needs a update to V6's,would add to lower cost and better speed,rules would need to be of 3 or 4 listed models of V6 only that are now cheep and left bone stock but for chip and headers.

The Pro 4/Outlaw Modified class was an absolute success. I was a fan for several years, and had the pleasure of driving them on several occasions. Dana is right, even though they were fully adjustable racecars, they were not that expensive to run (unless you blew big bucks on haulers, etc. like so many guys did).

The class is contracting a little now, but I hope they can turn it around.

Those cars were the most bang for the buck in pavement racing!

NSS Speedweeks back in theday...

.....the Pro4's put on a hell of a battle every night between the Stacy's and Fullers. Those we great fun to watch.
