I'm not sure what to make of this. I'm guessing you don't think there should
be Ladies classes since if they aren't good enough to win in an open class,
what happens to them in a Ladies class is irrelevant. If that's a wrong
interpretation, please let me know.
>Just because YOU hadn't heard of him before this year?
I think the word YOU could be substituted with "just about anyone outside of
the Utah local region". And I stand by my comment that I don't think he's as
good a driver as a lot of people he was able to beat by driving an M3 rather
than a ponycar in ESP.

I wouldn't spend a lot of effort argueing against this suggestion, but I
wouldn't spend anytime advocating it either (other than the M3). The DSM's
are fine and the other BMW's haven't proven to be overdogs like the M3.
