In no way am I saying that the modified indexes are not soft, but if you look at the cars that run fast in those classes, they have owners who spent enough money on them to run 1.20+ under with any decent combination (Guys like Arnie Martel, Jimmy DeFrank, James Caro, etc.). However, there are a lot of guys who run the modified classes that don't have cars that can run fast enough to be competitive in comp, and where would they go? It takes a fortune to run comp nowadays. In my opinion, the indexes for some of the classes (specifically the lower modified classes, modified stock classes, and modified experimental classes) need to be lowered based off their comp counterparts, for the ones that have them, but I think it would hurt the car count in Super Stock too much.
