It's kind of like buying a serial number plate and a title. You can (in some sanctioning bodies) build a totally new car with little or nothing more than the logbook as long as the logbook doesn't sa

Yup. You can saw out the portion of the main hoop with the serial number in it, take that, the logbook, and the (new) car to the tech inspector and claim to have put in a new hoop for 'updated safety

Richard, I bought a Spitfire race car recently that has a SCCA logbook starting in 1972. The car was a race car from day one and the logbook indicates it was raced at Limerock, Watkins Glen, and othe

Hi, The logbooks does little more than establish "provenance" (in terms of vintage) and if you intend to use it on tracks where a logbook is required, you get to skip that step... I'd be more interes

Thanks to all who responded. I posted the question for a friend, Boyd Wagner and will forward the responses to him. Boyd has restored a few TR's and recently built a Sprite for autocross and hillclim

Richard: If you intend to race the car again in SCCA, the role cage rules differ depending upon when the car was constructed/registered. The logbook will show when the car was registered. All cars re
