IMHO, there are no competitive RX-7s in C/Stock.  The best of that group is 
the '84-5 GSL-SE, and it's not up to the task.  I tried one for several 
years, as did several others.  By 1998, none of us could grab a National 
trophy in one.  I did jump into an MR-2 and trophy in '99, just so no one 
thinks it's the drivers...  My opinion is that the RX-7s, Alfas, and Datsuns 
should be classed elsewhere.  The SCAC disagrees, however.
