I've been away and not reading my mail so I've got some cathing up to
do.
Yesterday we had our Annual General Meeting and this very topic came up.
We agreed that we will accept a car for our Mosport event (a festival
type) which meets its home club's regs. It might be placed in another
class to avoid pissing of period authenic drivers. The event really is
run as fun, low key racing so you'd have to be rally bent to be
excluded.
We'd be tougher on eligibilty at our club events.
