125... for me, it gets more in the grey area. Not an obviously too
expensive car for autocross (clearly not cheap either). Knowning that,
and given that Greg is such a great driver and car prep person, if I were
running in AP I don't think I would have protested. (though perhaps I
would have petitioned for a rules change next year<s>)

I was thinking some more about the original 427 Cobra too. In my mind,
if someone bought one of those when they were cheap and raced it I
wouldn't be irritated about someone "buying the win." OTOH, if they
plunked down 500K or 1M because they had it and knew the car would
be an automatic winner with a good driver, then that doesn't seem fair.
