Hello Friends, 
I replied to John's message, but didn't "reply to all", so I'm forwarding the message. 

Stay tuned, 
Dave

Hi John, 
The Kastner Cup is a run what you brung race and doesn't fall within the normal rules of an organization. Safety requirements do matter during tech, but not other build specs are more open. It does matter if you want to maximize track time and join the other run groups besides the KCup group. 
CSRG is allowing cars through 1972 rules now and they are changing the run groups to 1A, '67 rules and 1B, '72 rules, for instance and so forth. 
I believe that CSRG wants entrants above all and they are relaxing their requirements. They have new tech and eligibility people and CSRG has opened their tire choices. Group one can now run 60 series tires. 

I'll find out more specifics and keep the FoT informed, but anybody can write to the race director or car eligibility and ask specific questions. I think you'll find them quite open and helpful. 

The HMSA event held the Kastner Cup at Laguna Seca and that is a good example of how a strict vintage organization opens their events for the KCup race.

Dave: I took a look @ the CSRG rules & I think I can safely say none of the East coast or mid west TR with which I am familiar would pass. Most, if not all, of our cars are prepared to 1972 SCCA specs as modified under SVRA rules. Perhaps an inquiry to the CSRG authorities should be made before some of us spend time to see if it is possible to make the trip?

Hello Friends, 
Steve Belfer and his TR3 are coming up from SoCal to race with me at this year's Charity Challenge at Sonoma. There should be a few other Triumphs there as well. 
This is the last event at Sonoma before the springtime Kastner Cup Race and a great weekend to get a practice race in. In case anyone is interested, there is plenty of time to join in and register for this event. 

CSRG has relaxed their strict vintage rules and guidelines a bit, so I think they would welcome anyone to join in. Just go to their website for further information. 

The Charity Challenge is CSRG's premier event and growing in popularity for racers and spectating. Lunchtime charity drives are a blast for spectators and terrific for the Speedway Charity Fund. 

Come join the fun.
