Appendix B. It was always a recommended bumping order should a region
want to do bumping. I quote (from the '97 book, latest one I have
handy, I doubt it's changed):
"Bumping" is not approved for championship events. However, the
following bumping order is recommended for regional events in cases
where a class is to be combined with another class.
And then it goes on to explain how to use the order. It's about
combining classes to make a large enough class. It's not about a
competitor choosing to compete in a "faster" class than the one to which
his car is assigned. If a car isn't legal for a particular class, then
it isn't legal. It doesn't matter whether or not that class is
theoretically faster or slower than the "correct" one.
