Agreed.
The the heart, soul, and ultimate example of competitions like this from my perspective is the owner/builder/driver cars.
If I was someone with "unlimited" revenue and limited ability and had a desire to be the center of attention or accepted in the crowd outspending the true enthusiast would be easy prey. Buy a GTR send it to a top tuner, give them an unlimited buget and hire a hitman for a driver.
Well thought out Classes of Competition is probably the best solution to the issues as the event gains popularity.
In no way do I see the event dissolve due to dissension. The techie Vette's, Benz's, and GTR are very impressive but I have much more respect and appreciation for hands-on cars like Mark's, Brian's, Mary's, and numerous others.
