LJLRC Modified class coming in 2016
For a few years people have asked me about starting a Modified Class at the Lincoln Johnny Lightning Race Club. This is one of the only classes we dont run at this time but that is probably going to change in 2016. I will be posting the rules soon I just need to talk this over with the LJLRC Race Committee. This will be a trophy class!

- Dig that GT style — redlinederby
- Keith, you know I'll try and wheel and axle combo... there is always something faster — Traction-Event
hmmmm... where to put 50 grams of lead to help acceleration...
i'm thinking i'll pack the pick up box with the stuff...
i recon that the longer the weight is your friend, the faster...
friend = downhill

Awesome! I'm glad to hear it!
The only advice I might have is to have your line-up nailed down 2-3 months ahead of time...mods take a little time! Sometimes you have to build a few before you get a fast one!
I'm sure all of the guys on here will be glad to have another place to race mods!
