Thank You for helping me prove my point.
Instead of being a club to " preserve and maintain classic sporting cars
from the vintage era" as Mr. Davison states (which was the clubs true
purpose not so many years ago), the SCCA - Sports Car Club of America - has
become more FCAKCA - Family Car and Kart Club of America .
The Type R and WRX you mention are little more than top of the line versions
of import grocery-getter imports. They certainly are not "classic sporting
cars from the vintage era", now are they?
Thanks again for helping me prove my point.
