Rich, my point exactly. Meaning "you just find a way to do it". Thereby making
all the separate classifications, something I truly look beyond when striving to
go faster than the next guy. If I want to be the fastest one liter, then its up
to me to post a speed beyond that in the 3/4 page listing of classes in the
1000cc class. When I go to the salt, if I havent gone faster than everthing
near me in terms of displacement, then I am motivated to try and make it happen
next time.
