Yeah, whatever means one uses the idea is still bogus. Being an "old car"
owner of two cars (CS-Alfa & GT4-510) getting ready to be dropped from there
respective classes and heavily involved with the SCCA I tend to get a bit
testy when I might not have class to run either in.

I agree it may be hard to find parts for older cars, but I still think
regardless of car age everyone should have equal opporunity to drive
whatever they have. If the SEB continues to weed out older cars, they might
as well start weeding out they're members also.
