Well there's a scientific statistical analysis for ya.... with a sample size of one. That's what is referred to as an outlier. (Full disclosure: I have been trounced by Randall before! LOL Dude can drive!)

There are a large variety of reasons why certain combinations have slowly disappeared over the years. Among those are regulations that haven't forced these cars out, but have served as a nudge here and a nudge there. There's also been a sea change shift in the types of drivers participating in the classes, or the mindset of existing competitors. There's no one thing that covers everyone's individual choices, but taken as a whole, they have had a cumulative effect over the years.
