Yeah, I can't imagine there are as many red misting fools in Class C, just a much different kind of crazy. I did my first Lemons race in Class C and dreadfully slow, but still fun.

Ha, post them up. There were a few lists of cars you or Phil wanted to see in Lemons a few years ago but need more bad (err, great) ideas out there. {edit: found a couple - an Acura Vigor would be cool too} I really wish I could track down the Cutlass that you were upset to not see with an e30 in its place, but a Skylark or other GM vehicle of mediocrity would be fun. BMWs are fairly easy to wheel, but a true craftsman picks the challenge.
"Radical new wedge-shaped styling appeared in 1992, with a sharply pointed grille reminiscent of 1930s Buick Special. The Skylark's new aerodynamic body had a low 0.319 coefficient of drag, compared to 0.374 for the previous version." Sounds like DOMINATION! I wonder if one can swap easily the previous generation Iron Duke with Isuzu's 5-speed manual into a 92-95? That would be more thrilling than the Quad OHC and an auto. Cut some springs, slap on some wide tires, then see what it can do.
