But I thought people said the driver was all-important.
I guess that's not the case. So let's just compare driver/car combo as a
whole and we'll use the 1st place F Stock entry rather than Scotty's finish:
1st Place ESP (M3) 110.519 PAX 90.847
2nd Place ESP (M3) 111.689 PAX 91.808
3rd Place ESP (PonyCar)112.168 PAX 92.202
4th Place ESP (M3) 114.794 PAX 94.361
1st Place F Stocker 117.335 PAX 94.689
Perhaps it's the FS class that is lame? Or maybe, just maybe, ESP wasn't
broke so we didn't need the M3 to fix it.
BTW, that 4th place M3 driver wasn't Todd Green. It was an even more unknown
driver. But perhaps there are just lots of unknown M3 drivers who happen to
be getting real good, real fast this year.

SBW was driving Wiggy's Fstocker with a shot diff, it was a major
smoke show with that one wheel drive. I have to think that slowed both of
them down a bit.
I offered my SS vette to SBW but something about beating on BSP in a
stock vette he did not want to do. ;->

Yes you have. San Diego National Tour '00.
Scotty White - F Stock 119.259 Pax - 96.240
Bob Tunnell - ESP 110.519 ESP Pax - 90.847
Oh, but ESP is slow so any good driver in F Stock can out run those
underprepared lame ESP PONYCAR drivers. Ooops, Steve Eguina got a 112.168
(PAX 92.202).
Boy it's a good thing ESP got the M3 in it to shape up the class. Otherwise
those lame ESP ponycar drivers couldn't beat anyone.
