Perhaps someone can explain something to me. I've been told that you can bump
yourself "up" a class at any time, just not down. In my case, when I started
playing this game, the local region had a novice program and class. It was
suggested that I should run there. I didn't want to, so I put my Camaro SS in
SuperStock. At the end of that first season we got put into BStock, so I
showed up at the first event of the next season and ran in that class. After
the first event I decided that I'd really like to "play" with the car a little
more so I've been in EStreetPrepared since the second event of this year. Now
I haven't done any major modifications to the car that would force me into ESP
yet. Does that mean that I'm not a REAL competitor in ESP? Does that mean
that my efforts to be competitive in ESP are somehow less than VALID? Is
someone here in a dark and smelly place? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but
it would seem to me that the real problem is that we need more classes. Maybe
one for people who Have two mods in their cars and another for people with
three mods! Yeah, that's it!!
Sorry, it just seems really silly and petty to me that we're so busy trying to
second guess everyone else's motives that we can't enjoy the competition, the
comraderie and the opportunity to play with our cars and become better drivers.
Ok, that's the end of my speach, back to lurk mode....
One more thing: maybe we really should have one more class. In the class I'm
proposing you don't have to have a helmet or even a car, just bring your
excuses...

Sorry Mark, but you've made some assumptions that are not correct. Due to
what I consider to be a poor decision by the SEB about differential carrier
bushings affecting C4 Corvettes, my car was not legal for BSP, so I guess
that makes myself, Jim Rohn and Mary _legitimate_ SM2 drivers.
So, it was a REAL SM2 car that was second in SM2 and that WON SM2L.
Is there more that I could do in SM2 to fully take advantage of the rules
there? Sure, and also in BSP.
