George, WAKE UP!!! You can't class by the "average" driver! You can never
determine the "average" driver's potential in an "average" car. You can,
however, determine the potential of the best drivers in the best prepared
examples of the best version of the best model of the car. That's all you
can do. And that's what we do.

You're the one who needs to get real! This classification process has been
used since 1986, and it works pretty damned well, overall. Look at all the
variations of models of cars ever produced. You can't make them all
competitive! I'll submit (leaving personalities out of it) that a well
prepared Fiero will do better in its respective class than you think it will.
Personally, I went to CP because we have one of the fairest sets of rules for
everyone. If my '88 Firebird is slower than Kurt Janish's Camaro, it's my
own damn fault and I have to take personal responsibility to make my
situation better.
