Nationally, there is a history of older winning stock vehicles that have been
protested and DSQed. It's been perceived that the only way to beat an older
vehicle is in the protest shed.
That being said, the SCAC/SEB couldn't get an "old car rule" passed last time
we tried it (I think it was a 15 year max, if I remember correctly), so I
doubt it will happen in the next few years. Such a rule would probably
asterisk the cars that are too old, and list them in their respective
classes, noting they are not eligible for Pros, Tours, or Nationals. But
again, I don't think it will be proposed any time soon...
