Hi--

Ah. I get it. Those are Divisions: Senior and Primary. But they're not 
classes.

If one judges a pretty nice vehicle (but not Senior) first, the tendency is to set the bar too low.  You then go to the Senior vehicle and are forced to use either the same score, of if anticipating a future higher score, score the first vehicle lower.  In either case, the scoring may be unfair.
