Does that seem like it would ever be possible? (universal rule set)
I
consider myself an outsider as well, as I have never run vintage. I am not a
fan of contact nor have I ever initiated it but I do like close door to door
racing. So if anyone knows of an organization that would be interested in
allowing current spec cars that may be orphaned by the SCCA, let me know.
JW
you said that the Triumph event at WGI will allow current spec cars? Similar
to the sprites at MO...
Is it the size of this event that allows for this
opportunity? Where will those cars be grouped, and are you expecting a good
number of cars to participate?

Since I don't race
in the vintage events, I don't have a dog in the hunt but
that gives me a
different perspective looking in from the outside.
I have for a long time
been seeing exchanges concerning the various
sanctioning bodies having
different specs for the cars and because of that
it is difficult to build a
car that will fit in to all the groups.
Maybe it is time that someone step up
to the plate and figure out how to
unite the various groups under a single
governing body. It won't be easy
since it will ultimately mean that some if
not all cars will have to change
to fit into the new rules, so a lot of
negotiating will have to be done to
accomplish the task.
At the same time, it
would be a good opportunity to address this new issue
of bringing in
additional classes that are being squeezed out of the SCCA.
Just a thought!

So what I'm saying is, if in
1988 a 25-year-old car (1963) was vintage,
then
why in 2008 isn't a 1983 car
-- or a car built. to 1983 specs -- vintage?
