Vintage Spridget Race Peoples,

One of the items I have wanted to address ever since the Sprite Midget Race=
 Series was started 8 years ago was an understanding of what regulations we=
 were under within VSCDA Group 2 and also understand other organizations re=
gulations as it relates to our favorite race car.  Part of that goal was to=
 get a copy of 1972 SCCA Regulations that VSCDA's General Competition Rules=
 Technical Requirements (revised 1/2018) states as their guideline.  I have=
 gleaned from VSCDA's General Competition Rules Technical Requirements (1-4=
) and have highlighted below.  I would encourage everyone to be more famili=
ar with this document found on the VSCDA Website https://www.vscda.org/vscd=
a-general-competition-rules :

1 *  Cars must be presented in a neat and finished condition. Cars shall be=
 prepared according to relevant SCCA or FIA General Competition Rules (GCR=
=92s) in effect up to 5 years after the date of the car=92s manufacture, bu=
t no later than December 31, 1972, except for Groups 5 & 7. Modifications b=
eyond the era of a car=92s production, made for other than safety reasons, =
may result in reclassification of Group.

2 * Supplemental Rules and Regulations for =93Race Groups and Specific Cars=
=94: 1. Race Groups 2 and 8 (Supplemental Rules) VSCDA has two types of pre=
paration; PeriodsSCCAPreparation andModPreparation. Cars which are prepared=
 to the more liberal rules of some VMC organizations are usually accommodat=
ed in one of the VSCDA Mod Classes VSCDA also has provisions which allows s=
ome cars to be prepared to =93other period regulations=94 as described in i=
tem 9 in this section. To determine the minimum race weight for cars in Gro=
ups 2 and 8 look up the spec. weight in the table =93GCR Car Specifications=

e Rules differ in some way from period regulations, the VSCDA Rules shall p=
revail. All MOD-1 and Mod-2 class cars shall carry visible MODdecals on bot=

d at VSCDA Tech. Subsequent decals will not normally be free of charge.

Attached is the 1972 SCCA Production Car Specification as it relates to Spr=
idgets for Classifications and Specifications that I have recently copied f=
or your reference.  I know there is lots of confusion about what is legal a=
nd what is not.  This attachment is only to highlight what VSCDA has establ=
ished as it's baseline for our cars.  I am hoping to also be able to copy 1=
972 SCCA GCR for further verification of our VSCDA Guidelines.
