Thanks, Brian.

I appreciate the info, but that's sort of tangential to my point.

The shortest summary of my original point is this: Don't get too
fancy with the handicapped classes in a way that might further
increase the difficulties or intimidation-factor that first-time
competitors have to deal with. Don't exclude ships that first-time-
buyers or club pilots might be using to fly their first competition.

Take care,
