Its just a matter of finding a small enough, twisty enough track and/or
racing in the rain. One of my regional races, way back when, was at
Waterford Hills, Michigan - named by Stirling Moss as one of the best small
tracks he'd ever seen.
I was driving a 72 Pinto that competed in the under 2.0 L Trans Am. For the
feature race, run in the rain, I outran several higher horsepower race cars
and finished ahead of them. They were all over the track in the rain.

Several run groups at your typical SCCA event will have that flavor,
due to the classes that end up combined sometimes. I think the
worst I've seen was a run group that included both GT1 monster
horsepower cars and GT-Lites (or was it GT4 back then) which handled
like roller skates but had zip for power compared to the GT1 cars.
GT1s took off like scalded cats on the straights, and got caught up
by the Lites in the twisty bits. Lap after lap after lap.
Nothing new there. That's exactly the scenario that unfolded around
40 years ago, except in that case the powerhouses were Ford Galaxies,
and the roller skates were Mini Coopers.
