NC = Not Classified. I don't think they like my brakes. If I win I
don't get to stand on the podium. Dunno about MP1 though.
We sometimes use 3 digit numbers to lessen the chance that we have a
conflict over numbers and have to change them.
Barker is father and son, two drivers.
Don't know about the duplicate numbers.
Regards, Tony Drews
