[Fot] CVAR and authenticity

[Jim]

At very least CVAR needs to update the rules listed on the website.

>From the website:

http://www.corinthianvintagerace.com/cvarrules.html

<snip>

Cars that are prepared beyond allowable modifications will be penalized
points, reassigned to another race group or excluded from competition at the
discretion of the Vehicle Regulations committee. 

Cars with more than 5 penalty points are not eligible for championship and
may be moved to exhibition group
<snip>

So from what's posted, Bobby could be allowed to run but not be eligible for
the cheap plank of fiberboard at the end of the year.   In the mean time
they're collecting dues and getting $$$ to help pay track rentals, etc.


Yeah, I got burned out from dealing with some of the rule book waving
autocross types who played personality games got get what they wanted.
That's what I liked about CVAR at the I ran.... much more laid back.


Cheers,

I agree, Bobby should be given at least a year.  CVAR should be more
consistent in their treatment of cars which are new to CVAR versus those
that have been there.  I suspect there are cars that have been running for
years with more important authenticity issues.  As you know, my car has been
in CVAR for the past four owners.  When I got it, it was loosing the maximum
number of authenticity points, and it had been that way so long that no one
could remember what the points were being lost for.  I corrected some of the
problems because I wanted to, not because CVAR demanded it.  I don't
disagree with the CVAR rules, but they should be uniformly enforced.
