You'll get no argument out of me on this. I fully agree. The point is, if all you have is a stock seat and 3 point belts, should you be allowed to go fast enough to get thrown out of the seat? That person showed up to the event to hang out, have a good time, and compete in a "Streetcar" event. This car is more Streetcar than the DSE White Monster Camaro but doesnt stand a chance against it. There's a 25 point spread allocated to the top so many cars for speed. If youre out of that range you get 1 point. Maybe we should award the points for the racing the same as the Style and Design event. Give 15 points for just for crossing the start/finish line and a possible 10 more based on how fast you can go. If the streetcar is not allowed to compete at the speeds of the Monster Camaro, should it be judged in the same group?

For the record, I have 6-point harness, seats, and plans to eventually add a roll bar. I still dont plan to drive 150 but at least I'll feel better about driving 100ish on a road course.
