I do not agree that having a race for "pre-1967 cars ... will [not] get
enough to break even any more." One of the largest annual spectator events in
the United States is the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, and it basically
limits cars to 1959 or earlier. By almost all accounts, the best vintage
event of 1997 was the Monaco Historics, which was limited to pre-1967 cars.
Period cars should race with period cars and, if marketed properly, such an
event will be successful.
