Now, before you go blowing my cover, consider that you have improved
quite a bit since then.  You held your own against Mike Herrick at
WichiKhana, and Mike has beaten me before.  Just because I'm better than
a lot of the locals doesn't mean I'm trophy material at Nats!  If I were
to go in with that attitude, I'd end up getting my butt kicked worse
than I already expect to!
 
(I could approach the "psych your competition" game from two angles: 
either make them think I'm an unbeatable autocross god, difficult as no
one has heard of me; or make them think I'm no threat at all... then wow
them with a better than DFL finish!)

Hmmm... I thought it referenced Stock class somewhere in there.  Also
thought that Stock required DOT wheels.  Curious.  ST does state that
alternate components must be commercially available... whatever that
means.
