Sovren has a fundamental approach for visiting race cars of advising the
owners what doesnt meet the rules and then letting them race. They note the
advice in your logbook (sometimes) and the official position is that they will
work with drivers to bring cars into compliance over time. In other words you
can do that a few times, and more or less continually over the years, but if
youre going to compete in multiple govern races in a year you nave to have a
plan and get there.

Thats what I understand as a result of getting a lot of non-complying cars
into the Columbia River Classic race when I volunteered to spice that event up
a bit a few years ago. Im fairly certain nothing has changed.

I dont have anything like an official statement about HMSA (which I assume
you mean instead of HSR) but my take is that they do pretty much the same
thing. The old approach of sending cars back home that werent legal was a
holdover from the Monterey Historics roots, and it died when they got out from
under that thumb and became more interested in not losing money. I could be
very wrong, but thats my take, I dont hunk youll hear anything super
official on such a subject, more like wink, wink, nod, nod.
