See:
http://ponycar.net/esp/Jeff_M3_SEB_Letter.htm
for my explaination. It was sent prior to the national championship, but
adding in those results would only strengthen my point.

I haven't seen numbers to support your hypothesis. Can you detail
those?

You must be coming late to this discussion. The M3 dominated all year
long at every single event it entered. There is a ton of evidence. Some of
it is collected at http://PonyCar.Net/ESP. More of it is in the threads of
this listserv, and other parts of it are in the letters submitted to the SEB.
