So what's wrong with Time/Only? If you're
running to test a theory, or just to satisfy your
own self, and you aren't chasing a record, T/O
seems like a good place to run. Besides, if you
got a couple of guys running rear engine Ts in
Time Only, and they chase each other for a year
or two and make a bunch of safe runs, it might be
a lot easier to convince the rules guys to
consider putting the cars back into their
historical classes.
