I have been struggling with this one for several years.  I do have a Bugeye
that turns 40 next year.  It originally started out as a SCCA H Prod racer,
was rolled, then converted to a Prepared Solo 2 car.  Anyway, I'm not that
familiar with Vintage rules (I've heard that I can't run any type of
panhard rod??).  I would probably take a bit more work to get the bugeye up
to speed.

I have friends who run the IT class (so I hear ALL about it..).  There is a
local track (waterford hills) that races every month.  I would also have
the opportunity to run at mid-ohio & Road Atlanta.  I would be very
interested in a dual purpose car, in fact, I do have a very good "vintage"
race motor.....

Not to step on any toes here, but I may be a little young for you vintage
guys (I'm 28).  I have a 30 year plan for racing, so little by little I'll
try different things.

Thanks for the other views, I really do appreciate all the angles

Kendall
