Hi Knut, Interesting format. Based on past competitions, would the top car that has won in years past likely make it into the Stainless tier? What I am wondering is will there be more 'top cars' or less 'top cars' under the new format? Perhaps another way of stating my question is, is 95% too low of a bar for the very best cars? Is 85% too low of a bar for 3rd tier cars? We should make the top tier a real accomplishment, and something that is not easily attainable without hard work, passion, and probably a lot of money! The top tier would really mean something then. I'm not sure how else to put my question. Andy In a message dated 2/7/2007 6:10:36 P.M.
