Oh, and the September rage is not HMSA--it's the San Francisco SCCA, and
they'll take about anything. For that matter, you'll see all kinds of cars
at the HMSA races too---it's the General Racing meetings (Like the
Historics, or the Wine country) that get exclusive. That's because they
can be. So many cars, so little track time.

Sounds very much like the VSCCA here in the northeast.
