Hey Mark,
I agree that SCCA awards trophies to a PERSON who wins (not necessarily the
fastest vehicle) the CAR class. NO argument there. However, did the
Person win or was there assistance from a Vehicle? Was that Vehicle
legal? Only until protested and DSQ'd. I could go on.......

My point exactly when I replied to Craig.............I am Not an English
major. English is my second language:-)
Actually, I am tired of playing the semantics game, so I am going to do
what I do best at the moment and be a Grandma.
