Actually most rulebooks (not just vintage) prohibit contact, and in many cases it ends up taking out both the "contacter" and the "contactee" so neither win. The current practice of contact racing ap

I'm not sure what you mean by "current SCCA rules" and "SCCA drivers." If I hold an SCCA Vintage license, and my car is legal in SCCA Vintage but not in Production, GT, IT, or any other "full competi

You make a good point regarding the need to carefully define my terms when expressing views in these sensitive areas. I do think the current or near-current SCCA safety specs are the very best there

We had an example of this at VARAC's Mosport event, when the MG racers came to visit us, and a few modern SCCA guys came up and played. Two cars, I think, from the same team, prepped with slicks, fib

When I began SCCA racing in the late 60s, production car preparation had evolved from the "tape over headlights" stage to a more sophisticated level, but it still fell short of the eventual movement

It seems to me the big contention is on two points: 1) understanding the nature of vintage racing (about 80% of the problem) 2) wildly variable car preparation (about 20% of the problem) Item 2 is ea

Jack, many of the vintage groups I have seen follow the "win at all costs" motto too. Except they spend ten times as much as the typical SCCA production racer. One of the joys of racing SCCA is not h

But that's hard to believe when you go to races, esp. Monterey or the Lime Rock Fall Festival, and see lots more transporters than at a CART or PSR race! Hell, when I say I'm a vintage racer, I'm vin

I spent this year doing only SCCA and one VARAC event myself. The SCCA remains amateur racing - still very much like it was in the 60s when we started. Same with VARAC - the best racing I've had - Ho
