Since VARA's "run whatcha brung" reputation has been mentioned here, it
should be noted that the club seems to be making progress in reining in
never-was cars such as 1275 Bugeyes. Now those folks can either (a)
jump to HSR/West with its liberal eligibility rules, running with such
"vintage" cars as fiberglass widebody tube-frame 914/6s and Lotus
Elises, or (b) get upclassed in VARA to run with the big boys, where
they no longer win. (If that's not enough disincentive, there aren't too
many guys out there who want to brake a Bugeye hard into a tight corner
with a Mustang riding their bumper.)
