Take a good look gentlemen and ladies... I believe those F4 mods are the future of what you are talking about... I would even race one of those, if I was getting into racing right now and did not have the equipment I already have.

I think it would be a great class. And to those of you who said boo hoo to the Thunder Cars, I really don't care how fast the 4 cylinders are, if you guys went as fast as the TQ midgets I really couldn't care less. I know an unlimited V8 will smoke an unlimited four any day of the week. All I was saying is that the track is not likely to let you guys do what you wanted for the reason that stock bodied four cylinders should not be faster than the Thunder Cars... If you get them to create this F4 mod class I think it would go over much better. Unfortunately I think that means that those of you who run Hondas would have to use some other engines as it is a front engine rear drive class.

I'm still in, if it was to be a go!!! it's not about making them as fast as the Thunders, it's about racing period any racer out there that doesn't want to go faster needs to stop and get out of racing LOL honestly I think this "PRO4" class is much better suited to a truck chassis then we could use Ford, Toyota and GM crates if you wanted, trucks also have tougher drive lines then cars and the number one reason Trucks look cool and people dig'em LOL but what I really want to hear is the engines LOL just imagine the note fully tuned 4 bangers can hit!! ( not that I don't love the sound of an 8) I just think it's time for something new and with the newer generation getting into racing being the "Import" crow we have to appeal to them a little, plus it'd be alot of fun to put a hurtin on some hondas LOL I remember the DASH seriers back in the day and not possitive but I do believe they did run 4's for a bit and trust me they flew!!! you're worried that it'll make the thunders look bad if a 4 banger is as fast or faster, think the Arca/ReMax cars are capable of going faster then the Cup cars do to the lack of restrictor plates and virtually the same drive line!!
