Mark, David's Midget has a 1974 chassis that is backdated to earlier specifications. It is a legal SVRA car and we use 1967 as the specification line for these cars. Under period SCCA regulations a c

A friend of mine just had a Bugeye rejected for the Gold Cup Historics at VIR because it has a 1275 in it. I'm told that the SCCA never sanctioned 1275s in Bugeyes, so they are not vintage eligible.

1275cc Bugeyes are not looked upon with favor (& were never recognized by SCCA) because the "Bugeye" bodystyle was never fitted with a 1275cc engine. It is simply a grossly over-sized motor for that

While I don't disagree with your sentiment, the Bugeye example is a bit less egregious than you indicate, as the engine is a later version of the 948 (via 1098) that WAS used in the car. Your example

Of course, a 1275 Bugeye'd really open a can-o-whupass on a Honda... ;) I've got to go with Bill's sentiments here. Since I've got 10 Spridgets in various street and racing trim, I hope that qualifie

You may want to confirm this... I believe CSRG does NOT accept a Bugeye with a 1275, but they WILL accept the appropriate year MG Midget or non-Bugeye Sprite which DID originally come with a 1275 (19

It seems to me that this is a common sentiment that comes out whenever there is a discussion of rules issues. It is often casually stated that so many cars run oversize engines. While I am sure that

Fact - almost zero Tigers run a 260, even though there were more of them than 289s - allowable I assume because the later cars actually came with that engine. Fact - almost no Ford GT40s run original

I understand your point, Doug, although "the wrong motor for the car" isn't really the rule. In fact, you can race (and the SCCA allowed) any square-body spridget with a 1275, whether it came with on

We ran at Sonoma almost (WOW!) 10 years ago, and in all fairness, the bugeye may still have had the 948 with which it started. So, I may well be mistaken (read wrong). Where did those years go? Bill
