Strange comment from an SCAC member but wasn't that the point of

As I have already explained I had the '89 data but no other. Al Chen has
done a great job with the '94 data (which I didn't see until my post
this morning since I am on the digest - but he was gracious enough to
send it to me). And it looks like you may have a point. 43% of the
Corvette drivers from '94 are still competing at Nationals. I was not
expecting it to be that high.
But the shot about the 23 cars in '89 is a bit offbase. I think if you
look at the entrants over all the years that you will see it was 45 or
so Corvettes in SS in the early 90s.
But I bet most people are getting pretty tired of this thread by now.
Maybe it's time to move onto other boring threads, like the average size
of a NE Solo II. Sorry to Katie for making her use that 'Delete' key so
much in the last few days. ;-)
