2020 Owosso Speedway Modified Class Rules Owosso Speedway reserves the right to amend these rules at any time Page 1 of 9 All competing Modified Drivers will be required to use a Head & Neck Restraint System. This will be required for any Modified car entering the track at any time, including practice! Cars that are competing using a “Bird Cage” type rear end must have a 1/8 “ thick steel plate welded or securely bolted to the roll cage behind the seat. The plate must extend in width from the door bars to 3” past the seat and in height from the top of the seat to the floor. If the car is constructed with an “X” or “Z” bar behind the driver’s head, then the plate must extend from that point to the floor of the car. “Lead” will be the only appropriate ballast material. All other types including tungsten, cement, asphalt or a combination of products will be disallowed. Please note on the Front Suspension that ONLY the UPPER “A” frame can be moved from the Stock Location. The Lower or Bottom “A” Frame MUST be in the OEM location using the Factory bolt holes. Please check your front suspension to make sure that it is right! This rule expands to include NO bushings of any kind or material to be used at the Lower ”A” Frame OEM mounting points! The Lower “A” Frames can not be moved, or Adjusted! The Weight for our Modifieds has been changed to: 2400 lbs with a minimum right side weight of 1000 lbs.
