Jim, thanks for the info on Barratt. I e-mailed them asking for any
info on TR3/4 axles.
I response to your question about what's legal and what's not, I am not
sure that I can answer that. The groups that I race with are mostly
TR3s and TR4s. I have only seen a few TR6s in my few years of vintage
racing. In general it's safe to say that upgrades related to safety:
brakes, etc. are O.K. If you race with HSR, authenticity is not much of
an issue, so just about anything you bring to the track is legal.
Actually there is a thread going on on the vintage racers mail list
about this very issue. This issue is also one that will fill many a
page of discussion, and probably never get anywhere. If you want to ask
questions about vintage specs at SVRA, call and ask for Jack Worhley.
They will give you his number and he is always interested in talking to
future vintage racers. VSCDA also probably has a list of cars and
elegibility.
Later.............
