This class was meant to be a relatively inexpensive and fair class to race.

I enjoy the class at my local track because we all just have fun. I dont have to worry about tires or motor choice, just some suspention tuning. But I guess that some people just feel that money is no object when it comes to winning.
This is why I run modified. I found it harder to compete in the stock classes because so many people go to any length to run good in this class instead of it being a good novice class for the entry level driver.
