You are correct about Div 4 having alot of Modified cars, much more than Comp. Same scenario in Div 3. I don't remember your C/SM Camaro, but they were a popular combination as I remember seeing many of them. The idea of classes for updated older vehicles is appealing I am sure to many people.

Comp Eliminator evolved in the same way as Stock and Super Stock. Today's Comp cars have a lot of the Pro Stock chassis and engine technology that makes it a very expensive class to run. I still remember when Super Modified were limited to the original suspension and the trick was to use the leaf-link system. They were also limited to a 10.5" rear tire.
