How do you "sell" seat time over bolt-ons?

Go to an autocross, run in your legal class and then look at the pax numbers for the day, anytime you look and see you can beat a "car/driver" like a vette or porsche means that your driving skills are better then said guy with all those "mods" in the car. For instance I went last month and finished 7th, a modded gtr was 24th, he's got tons of money and a lot of said money in that car but was beat by something with half the power but more seat time them him.
hope that makes sense
You couldnt have sold the "seat time" aspect any better. I did my first autocross last Sunday and realized how fast I really wasnt. Civics, Miatas, STI's, VW's were all faster than me with less horsepower.

Now granted I wasnt pushing hard the first few runs but when I did my Z wasnt going where I wanted it to go. By my last pass I dropped 4 seconds.

I need some more major (SEAT TIME) to go faster.
