But Bill, we do call it racing. When it is a race, the field has to be made relatively flat, and the best way is to have the right engine. Who's going to say the one person's 300HP 289 V8 is low tune

That's another, and different, issue - many (most?) people now vintage racing never raced in SCCA or CASC racing. Many of them are out there having a high speed tour - I call them roving chicanes (RC

There are RC's at all levels of racing. There are even people who make it to the SCCA runoffs who are lapped within 5 laps of the start. These people, I'm sure have no hope or vision of standing on

I made my statement in the context of vintage racing, where the rewards are mainly self satisfaction. It cannot be particularly rewarding to cheat in vintage. That's a bit like cheating at solitaire.
