No, that's the great thing about RWYB days, anything can turn up.
I've not been to Avon Park yet, but I have done two days at Santa Pod. On both occasions there were some spectaculary quick machinery there like the Bedford Rascal with the bike engine that eats BMW M3's for breakfast or the Mk1 Escort with a highly tuned Cossie lump that runs in the low 11's. On the other hand there wre the usual selection of chavv'd out Corsas and Saxos running mid to late teens and then there were other entrants like the young couple with their Fiesta 1.1 and 1.3 that were running 22sec quarters and the Corsa diesel that runs a 22.5.
The beauty is that for the most part those with the slower cars were getting as much kudos and respect as those with the seriously quick stuff. It really is that it's the taking part that counts, not what time you run - you get respect for just being there.
