Be careful, what qualifies as "Vintage in "Progressive New Mexico" is any car
that arrives with entry money. The problem with SWMS and their progressivism
is cars with flares and slicks are allowed as well as refugees from Saturday
night ovals that feature schedule 40 front bumpers. Vintage racing is about
the passion for the cars that participated in the golden era of road racing
and not weekly changing the rules to accomodate whatever car happens to be
rusting away in whoever's backyard. So, get a car that qualifies and support
the best vintage racing in the country that is in your own backyard (CSRG,
HMSA). You'll be glad you did and may even see a refugee from New Mexico,
putting around some track in Northern
