Sure hope Michael Schumacher doesn't move into tin tops!

I know I'm going to regret asking this - but where on the scale are you placing
me?

<< It might be a lot better for Historic motorsport in Australia if people
recognised that most Australian motorsport spectators are more interested
in tin tops than open wheelers. Also, tin tops (and non racing history
sports cars) represent a reasonable percentage of the entries at NSW
all-Historic Race Meetings - alienate these people and you will find that
race entry fees will need to escalate dramatically in order to cover costs
(do you really want that?).>>

However you can consider plotting HP:IQ ratios for the following sedan
classes:
HQ
Group N - quite an intelligent bunch using Pursey as a yardstick!
Sports Sedans
Suzuki Cup
Funny cars
2 litre tourers
5 litre tourers
One of the problems is how to attribute IQ ratios without offending the
entire list!
