It is your name on the web page organizing this campaign, titled "Reclassifying
the BMW M3
out of ESP".
See: http://PonyCar.Net/ESP/
Main reason for "unfair" are: premature since it's based on too few events and
drivers.
Also seems to be pretty ESP-centric. Look at it from SEB's perspective, you
can't just
take it out of ESP, you have to put it somewhere else. And doesn't even
consider the
problem of the 328i/325i, which could probably be made to be about as fast as
an M3 since
they share most major components.

Isn't his name Mark Maradash ? That's who beat the (#2)Schotz by over 1 sec. on
the first day of nationals last year, with an '88 Firebird. Maybe we need to
move the '88 Firebird too by your reasoning: 2 sec. . . I bet he sandbagged on
day 2 :)
There are a bunch of drivers who do well with their cars. And beat the field
by some margin. Most of the time it's best to celebrate and congratulate and
emulate
these folks. Daddio is an obvious case where we know right away that a good
driver
makes a bigger difference than a few little changes. This campaign of yours
seems to
target one (or two) M3 drivers.
