Not Telling
The class is pretty much dead because the 2 door, rear wheel drive with a V8 car, is a thing of the past from Detroit. The cars that are left that are decent, are going for big money...so all that is left are rotten junk that is crusher food. Drag racers, dirt racers, pavement racers, high school kids, and car collectors, have used up what Detroit made.
The class is pretty much dead because of the people spending their way to victory lane. The more rules you put on them (or any class) to try to keep the cost down, just adds to the cost. Why? Because guys just throw money into finding a way to circumvent the rules to make that 'junk intake and 2bbl carb' run like it's a good intake with a 4bbl.
The class is dead because across the entire country there is a huge difference in what a track calls a 'stock car'. Rules from tracks in PA are very different than rules from tracks in IN, and OH tracks can't get on the same page with each other besides 2-3 at a time.
Some people might remember back in the mid 1980's a class called > E-Mods < showed up in this area. Yes, the 'E' stood for ECONOMY (AKA cheap/cheaper) They were supposed to have stock front clips with stock A arms and shocks, and damn near junkyard motors due to the claimer rule on them. It didn't take long before the 'E' was gone because 'we could do this and that to the engines and it would be cheaper than blowing up a junkyard motor', or 'we could do this and that to the chassis and it would be cheaper than using junkyard parts'.......and now look what the Modified class has become.
IMCA rules are different than UMP rules. Here again, not everybody is on the same page....
This B-Mod class will become the same thing before too long.
I don't have a dog in this fight, but I've been around racing long enough to know, that a 'B-Mod' isn't going to -fix- anything, based on the past history/actions of racers, and their need for speed.
