Modified is all but dead in the UK as only the top few drivers can handle the speed. On a small track blinky gives close competetive racing but lets face it, even a 10.5 is slow.
I run 13.5 and 10.5 boosted, where I race they are by far the most popular and most competetive classes, fast enough to be a challenge slow enough to be drivable. Don't get me wrong, I hate having to faff around with speedo settings to get 1/100sec off a lap time but is it any differant to putting a 0.25mm shim under a ballstud to alter a roll centre to achieve the same thing?
The fastest drivers will still be the fastest drivers regardless of what motor class they are in, might be a coincidence but the fastest driver are the ones who spend the most time setting up their cars and by doing the most testing.
