there are some worries that vintage race
organizations will suffer membership losses over time as the racer
population ages. If NASA or some other yet to be formed post-historic race
organizer puts together races for mid 70's and later cars we may lose
racers.
I think NASA serves a vital function in relieving the pressure on Vintage
organizations to cave in.
I doubt if anyone now Vintage Racing will migrate to NASA. It will be the
other way if anything.
The same caution came up when VDCA and later VRG started up. The powers to
be looked at this as a threat. I said just wait and see. These organizations
have stepped in and put on the races we couldn't or didn't want to do. They
have been a windfall for us as we are not really an "entry level"
organization.
They provide certain benefits that we cannot and it has worked out very well.
In short, if an organization puts on events that the core group of racers
can relate to, that organization will prosper. Stable and sensible rules are
vital to that concept.
