Thanks for the answers Eric. I just checked the local autocross website (http://www.americanauto-x.com/) and of course they don't run DSP. They have C Street Prepared and E Street Prepared... Last time I ran they put the Alfas in our own beginner group. At that run one of our members made the STOOPID mistake of joking.. "why don't you put us in with the ladies?" DOH! Especially when registration is run by women... and not to mention that we couldn't have beat any of the women.

I'm still looking through the classifications for the "semi-vintage fixed head coupe class" which Joe "Hipshooter" Cantrell suggested for my very verde GTV6. Perhaps I'll stick to showing it at the mall with the Lucas-infected cars. ;-)

Do owners of brit cars repainted red get abuse from their own like this! 8-)
