Making a couple of assumptions here -- first a fairly safe one that the
*drivers* have been racing all season in the class; second a less safe [I
could be wrong] one that the *cars* have been eligible to race all season,
or most of it, but in real time the drivers were not able to get all the
parts they needed (i.e. tops) to do so until late. IOW, eligibility with a
specified package was always there, being able to put the package together
took a while.

Roger that! It's like we in solo give a provisional extra run when there is
a question, and decide later if the driver gets to keep it. Thus, if the
ultimate decision favors the driver, he's not screwed by procedure.
It still seems to me the CoA has usurped the Comp Board's mandate to
classify cars. And even the BoD's authority to approve such?
