To use the CP example and looking at the results from this year's Nat's...
what you guys are trying to convince me of here is that the conditions
between Heat 2 and Heat 5 were worth 2.5 to 3 seconds.  I wasn't there, but
didn't hear of any rain occurring in Topeka during this time.  This is
quite an interesting concept, but it's a whole lot easier for me to believe
that the fastest CPL drivers were 3 seconds slower than the fastest CP-open
drivers.

Nah, it's not a bad thing.  I don't think Ladies classes are wrong at all
when they're populated as they are at Nats.  I'm still not sure if I'd run
in one if I were female, though. (being female would, of course, completely
change many of my opinions)

I'm hoping I don't get any either.
