Paul:
I wasn't indicating dominance for fast time at a SCCA event.
I was noting that someone from outside a marquee club who
doesn't have the "special" class(ifications), might have a
tendency to do better. I prefer to enjoy the mix of my
current class (M3, Z3, 944S2, MR2, Boxster). At the PCA
events, I end up striving for FTD rather winning a class of
two cars. Just for curiosity, how many classes ran at
GGR Porsche Club events? I know that Connecticut
Valley Region reshuffled their classes, using the Solo II
rulebook as a guideline and reduced their classes down
to nine or so.
