You left out land speed record drivers. What category are they in?
Actually, there should be a separate category for put-down artists who think every other kind of racing but theirs is an activity for idiots. Here in Annapolis, we have a group of people whose thinking is roughly similar to that. We call them sailboaters. They think every way but theirs is pointless.
Me, I would be happy to be autocrossing to start with; I've never driven anything in competition. I suspect I'm not the only one on this forum who's never turned a wheel in a race. I hope to someday, but I am not going to start with a GT40. I guess meanwhile, I am lower than level one in your hierarchy. Maybe level 0.5 or something like that. Maybe I should stick to boats. There's no speed limit out there and everyone obeys the rules a lot better than they do on land.
