Can anyone give me some imput? I raced hobby stocks in 2006 and plan to race an IMCA Modified in 2007. I want to know cost differences in maintenence etc.and things to expect. pros and cons.

                     thanks, Roy

I am doing the same thing...sort of. Mini to IMCA. I got a great deal on a car, with a trailer. I have run twice, and I'm broke. The IMCA is just more expensive...tires, wheels, fuel, and a lot more servicing, especially if you run alcohol...fuel system maintenance, oil changes, etc. Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking back. It's just going to take more help to keep the car on the track this year. So, is it more expensive, yes. Is it a kick in the ass to drive...Oh yeah!! My advice, figure out a way to make it work. You'll never know if you don't try.

where are you guys going to race? If sms then good luck to you both next year. I race the 81 mod there and they are a lot of fun. The hardest part is getting started. once you do that then you will do fine. any qus come to me in the pits and i will do what i can for you.

81mod- I race in Bakersfield at least I did last year. Thanks for the imput. I just dont know much about modifieds but I'll figure it out.
