I know for a fact that we have gotten way better from making the transition and I think most people after 6 months or so will be able to say the same thing. The transition can be expensive at first but once the driver gets used to the speed, costs normalize to around the spec classes. I guess what I'm trying to say is, convince your local fast guys to step into modified, especially if they are nationally fast and racing at your track.

I believe the issue is that when some US drivers make the jump they do so without realistic expectations. I say US because we live in the country that has adopted the mindset of "instant gratification." They expect that they will be competitive right away and when they aren't it shatters those expectations and so they drop back down to stock. So I believe that if the driver approaches Mod understanding that it will take time to learn how to be effective with more power and not to quit when it gets challenging then we would see more American based Mod turnouts.
