Damn DG, you got too much time on your hands!!!!!  <GRIN>

   As for all the griping about how certain cars simply dominate their 
respective classes, another very important point to remember is the time, 
energy, $$$$ and any sort of normal life, expended developing and maintaining 
 a no compromise car.  Most of the dominating cars (Lombardo/Thomas, Daddio, 
Tunnel, Ames,  and mine) are purpose built, and for the most part only run on 
weekends.  This is common to Stock Class as well as SP, Prepared etc....  
When you have spent every waking moment and every available (and unavailable) 
penny finding the last hundredth of a second then you may have a classing 
argument.  

   Seat time is a VERY important, perhaps the most significant factor you 
will find in all top drivers.  And remember, as I so ably proved at Peru, 
those same cars can be driven pretty slow too!!  :-)
