A-Mods....R.I.P!!!
IMO This is directed at NAPA speedway only. The A-Mods are not dying they just need to be built back up. The x-mod class is doing well right now and there are a lot of good reasons why but there are some basic things that have adversely affected the A-mods. The X-mods were designed to give older mods a class to run competitively in and prepare drivers to become A-mod drivers. My thoughts are that by opening up the rule package as far as we have done (outlaw bodies, big spoilers, ported/polished heads, expensive shocks, and lack of enforcing the rules) the class has grown expediently. There are not a lot of reasons to move up right now. My feeling is if you are going fast enough to need or want that stuff then you should want to move up and run the A-mod division. I feel as long as you can put on all that stuff on your X-mod then why move up when you can always go faster in your X-mod by buying the same stuff that is on the A-mods and you won’t have to chase the 3j car. I think that when we limit the X-mod class back to where it was designed more of the top drivers in the division will aspire to move up.
