I do believe you are comparing apples to oranges! A logical person would NOT
conclude this year's CPL Champion would have placed 15th in CP since CPL ran
2nd heat and CP ran 5th. Do you really believe weather and track conditions
did not change between the heats?? >>
I hate to state an opinion as I know what comes back but I have to totally
agree with this and all the crap of comparing classes to classes, Ladies to
men...you cannot compare this kind of stuff unless the classes ran at the
same time, same heat. Weather, track conditions all play into these number
games. Especially out there where first runs can have a different track when
running their second runs because of the pavement.
Just an opinion-no flames please.
