There is also no eligibility statement that says that only
"ladies" can compete in the ladies class. The only thing
that the good book says is that a parallel ladies class must
be run. So, you don't need to get snipped in Sweden, you
don't need a wig, and best of all, you don't need to even
wear a stinkin' dress to compete in the -L classes. All that
you need, guys, are the balls to do it! Ironic, isn't
it??? :-) So, who from TLS is gonna be first??? Linnhoff???
[As a side note, there is no place in the good book where it
says that car numbers have to be positive integers, consisting
of the digits 0-9. I was thinking about "-16.0001", "AE3" hex,
the PI symbol, "XVI" Roman numerals, and even dice spots for my
next set of magnetics. Hope TS99 can handle these as valid car
number input!]

I seem to remember having this very discussion with a certain
nameless yellow Type-R driver from Pennsylvania a few months
ago. :-) If I recall, there were only two open concerns:
1) Would you, Alan Pozner, wear the jacket (to events where
people knew what the -L meant) if you won???
2) Would you ever be able to show your face at an SCCA event
again if you LOST in the ladies class??? :-)

OK, you drive like a girl, :-) so you might as well run in their
class!!!!! :-) (*)
(*) Before somebody labels me as a women-basher for the previous
sentence, it bears mentioning that I've been beat by women
driving my own car TWICE already this month. I was beat by
talent in both cases. Gender is not, nor should it be, an
issue.
