Jack, many of the vintage groups I have seen follow the "win at all
costs" motto too. Except they spend ten times as much as the typical
SCCA production racer. 
One of the joys of racing SCCA is not having to fight giant transporters
for paddock space. I'm amused, also, at one vintage organization that
requires you buy a transponder for the telemetry timining system. 
Vintage my#$%^&*()!
Regards, Jim
