My original statement, one paragraph in 11 from the original letter to
Andy Bettencourt when he said the classing system could not be fair to all:

(quote)
I will stop right here and add "ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL" This
sport is about having fun, and honing skills. But if one shows up in a
Neon in ES on day-one, he will probably be able to beat the competent
competitor with years of experience in an ES 2.5L Fiero after 2 or three
events. That, sir, is not the driver, it is inequitable classing!!

Your response:

I'll take that bet.  You supply the ES 2.5L Fiero in good condition.
I'll drive it here for a season.  I'll buy the tires.  Then you send your
novice in his Neon.  I'll kick him.  And I am not that good.  A top driver
like Tunnell  (either one of them) will clean his clock without any
experience
in the Fiero.

>From "probably" to betting that you could do it if I supply the car and give
you
a year to get ready, and Tunnell (either one) could do it??

Aren't you miisning the point here?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Again I ask, what bet??
