Bwahahahaha! Yeah, let's all get paranoid about a sub-15k ringer
"ruining" D Stock. Be very afraid, everyone. If we aren't
eternally vigilant, our sport (well, just a couple classes,
actually) may turn out to be dominated by affordable cars that
are available to anybody who wants one. And we can't have that,
now, can we?
I think what Paul is saying is that the cars he likes aren't
winning enough, ergo, in his mind at least, they're being
discriminated against.

Get a grip. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with popularity,
which is the only attribute you've established that the Neons
have. You or I can go buy one, and the odds are very good that we
can afford one. If not, then neither of us should be considering
autox - we'll be needing the grocery money too badly. If they're
winning, so what? Somebody's (and some car's) gotta win....
