I didn't start this conversation to bring out a war. I don't vintage race
because I want to race for the competition. If I go the vintage race route
I'll just do lapping days with the local BMW club with my car exactly as it is.
While I appreciate the arguments against vintage groups trying to find a place
for SCCA cars that are being displaced to run, I think it's pretty short
sighted to rule it out.
What I have is a car that is too far gone to go back to a more "stock" form. I
wouldn't want to. Driving the car on slicks is amazing. Driving for me isn't
about how much track time in a weekend. I like a 20 minute practise session,
25 minute qualifying and 45 minute race.
It looks like there are few options, but I will check out Midwest Council.
