Can anyone give me an explanation why the obvious is not common practise?

1) Segment the entries into open wheel race groups and and closed wheel race
groups.
2) Assemble however many race groups you have time for, by declared lap
times at time of entry.

Then if you really want to recapture your lost youth (darn, I let it out),
you can declare some made up macho lap time time and thrash and bash with
all the other testosteratti.

If you want to drive fast, safe and still have something to take home on
Sunday night, you declare a lap time you are comfortable with.

That way,
a) YOU can choose who you drive with and what your track environment will be
like.
b) Pre-war cars and daily driver cars and first timers can still have some
fun, without going cross eyed watching to be lapped every second lap.

Malcolm Cox, very red and shiny MGA, and planning to keep it that way.
