Its unfortunate there's no place to bump the Loti and RX-7 TT
in SP, so they'd go to P. I'm following the precedent set by the
SCCA in not allowing the Viper to compete in Stock and sending
it directly to A/SP because it's too fast for any stock classes.
IMO, A/SP seems to be a one and a half (Tripoint prepared
RX-7TT) marque class - when an Elan shows up- everyone else
is fighting for second. Yes, the Elan is in effect being penalized
for being too quick - just as a stock Viper is.
