With a carbon fiber hood, which is rather obvious, I wouldn't be surprised if someone comes up later, and asks 'why does that guy get to keep his carbon fiber hood in that class??? he's supposed to be in blah-blah-blah class with that, that's what they told me last year ...".
When you come right down to it, the rules are the rules, and sometimes they don't seem fair or right, but they are the boundaries we have to work within in this sport.

That's exactly my point. I have essentially come to live with the fact that I will likely be put in SM, for my hood, and for my brakes that M3n2c3 mentioned as well. I'm not bent about it. I came to play by the rules! I'll still be out just as often, and I'll still have just as much fun! It's NOT all about "winning" in my class to me, so much as enjoying myself, being safe, and *really* learning what my car and I can do! ALL of which I've been doing...
Mike: I plan on staying in Novice this season, despite some people's suggestions to change. Next year, I'll run class, and if I'm in SM, so be it! Maybe there'll be some miracle, and this little black, low-hp-non-turbo car will actually do fairly well!
