I hoped that people wouldn't take this as complaining...  I was trying
to have a classing debate without sounding like a whiner.  I am having
a great time this year, and I am very happy with my results so far.  I
am merely trying to talk openly about car classification.  GS happens
to be the class I know the most about, because I am in it.  Also, my
beef with the Eclipse is *only* in a ProSolo setting.  I think it is a
good fit to GS in a SoloII setting, but in a ProSolo event, it carries
an unfair advantage.  I think that ProSolo and SoloII classing should
be either seperate, or should take into account the factors of both
event.  Whether or not you think I am complaining.

I am concentrating on those things, and I am doing well at it.  I am
not focused on the other guy.  I am working on myself and my car.  I
also still believe in my car. I don't think anything is *wrongly*
classed.  I merely believe some things could be classed *better*.  I am
not trying to create a spec Corrado class.  I understand that generally
newer cars should be at the front of stock classes.  All I am
interested in is parity.
