[Thicko] FV VSCDA question

[Mike Jackson]

Dont know if I'm the only VSCDA FV guy on the Thicko list or not.  Certainly I'm not in charge of their rules.
However, I dont believe there is any scenario that makes a Caldwell D13 elegible.  Pretty sure they were all made as Zero-roll cars.  I suspect if he were willing to do enough saw and torch work to make it a traditional shock/spring car and then call it a (wink, wink) Hoopdedoo special, they MIGHT let it run.

On the other hand, I always though that Midwest Council was the last home of polite racing outside of vintage events.  Some folks have a habit of putting themselves in the situation of "likely to get hit".  We had one such individual retire from regional racing to vintage in his FV here in the deep South.  We ended up banning him from competiion.  He was never truly at fault for the contact itself but had always played too weak a hand to make some maneuver stick.

The elegibility rules for FV can  be found at http://www.monoposto.com/
