First off I mean no disrespect to any driver that qualifies for the
Runoff's, just trying to "shift" a paradigm.
Your paradigm about the Runoff's only really applies to the "well
subscribed" classes like SRF, FC and FV.

Even though GT-1 is fairly well subscribed in CenDiv I guarantee a Panoz GTS
(probably from some other division) will make the Runoff's in GT-1. I truly
hope GT-1 includes the absolutely beautiful Maroon 70ish Mustang, the car is
a joy to watch.
