The coolest part is that you can also catch the Moser family in the staging lanes at big buck bracket races. They know what it takes to build products that win races.” 

ENCORE: REMEMBERING MODIFIED ELIMINATOR

In the 1970s, there was no mistaking this sound. The high-winding, heaving flywheel grinding, gear-jamming symphony made up the orchestra of Modified eliminator. Called blue-collar class racing, Modified thrived in NHRA competition until it was disbanded and divided between Competition and Super Stock. This informative CompetitionPlus.tv video,  tells the Modified story through the eyes of Mike Edwards, Vinny Barone, David Nickens, Gene Fulton and Jerry Coley.
