OK, I surrender!  I have tried to work my way through the definitions and 
standards of the various vintage racing organizations. I realize this isn't 
rocket science but filtering through just the SCCA and FIA regulations 
(just to mention two of the many) is confusing.  I would appreciate it if 
someone can point me to a concise (abridged!) source that will delineate 
the relationships between the various organizations that codified the 
standards and a simplified condensed version of applicable 
standards.  Specifically my interest is in the 1962 standards the I may or 
may not (that will fill another volume..) need to conform to run my 1962 
Corvette. Terms like "Vintage,Classic, Historic, Sports, Touring, Grand 
Touring, Special Touring, Improved Tourning, GCR, PCS...etc" abound, anyway 
there are a lot of interesting and some times almost comical regulations 
and standards such as FIA's "Coachwork: means all the external parts of the 
vehicle licked by the air streams..." .  I do play well with others, but 
need to know the rules.  So if there is a source book/document that 
succinctly defines what equipment that is allowed/required for my car 
please e-mail me!  I have nightmares of spend lots of time and $$$ to make 
my car "comply" to be sent home from an event for being "out of 
standards"...thanks in advance.
