First off, I have a major problem with the phrase "average drag racer". I wasn't aware that there was a rule book for "average" drag racers, "pretty good drag racers", "professional drag racers", or "famous people who want to be drag racers". I thought there was just a "rule book".

Is it a major media happening? Absolutely. Great, so garner that media attention also at the LODRS events at which you have to earn your grade points, if you're really interested in Super Gas racing.

OR, if it's a one-shot deal and he's not actually interested in Super Gas racing, then let him make exhibition runs. He *is* famous, and it *is* a neat car.
