In Road Racing, those "top o' the heap" classes were A Sports Racing,
Formula A (not Atlantic), A Production, even Showroom Stock GT and SSA, etc.
etc. All are now gone from National racing for lack of interest. GT1 is
about the only "top class" still alive. The top SportsRacing is C, the top
Formula is Atlantic which used to be B, the top Production is E, the top
Showroom is B.
One avenue open to all the AM drivers -- everyone bring a co-driver, and
don't overlook a Ladies class driver (of which there were none this year).
Eight cars this year, only two had co-drivers.
