[Fot] So a question?

[Steven Preiss]

Did you'all study the photos sent us by the Vitesse racer? Dont know the
dates, cause I had to delete the files, but yes later than 68. However many
of the usual suspects are pictured. Everyone was getting into the airdam act
by then. And no pretense of brake cooling is apparent. Could someone explain
the logic to justify that because only the Datsuns officially got away with
it at the time, that only the Datsuns are allowed to run them now. What
about fared plexi windscreens allowed by SVRA? Are they any less out of
character from the original look than the dams?
