You are correct... The problem with SVRA is he is running way too many events
at high entry fees and at venues that have no vintage connection and appeal to
80's cars. The entry at Mid Ohio was off by at least 100 this year. The true
clubs like VDCA & VRG are still true to the sport... I cannot say the same for
other more publicized sanctioning for profit companies.

The simple truth is that all the clubs and organizations are getting a lot
looser on rules and regs. With good reason. Most are seeing a continual decline
in participation. Very few of the valuable cars (meaning over a million) are
raced at ordinary events any more. Most organizations are looking at
substantially moving the acceptance dates for vintage to something more like
20-30 years old instead of 50-70 years old. For a lot of them it?s change or
die.

though last time I looked, these boys (VRG) have never brought scales to an

I think my roll cage (and a huge amount of bondo in the bonnet) more than make
up for the missing interior and door glass.

VRG vehicle eligibility rules-
4.1.5. Weight: All production cars must adhere to minimum weights, as
recognized by period SCCA PCS or OEM listed curb weight. Formula cars and
sports-racers must adhere to period weight specifications for their type, where
applicable. Cars which have been significantly lightened must be identified by
the owner on the race entry form, and are subject to reclassification.
Undeclared, lightened vehicles will be considered grounds for serious
disciplinary action.
Curb weight definition-
Curb weight (US English) or kerb weight (UK English) is the total weight of a
vehicle with standard equipment, all necessary operating consumables such as
motor oil, transmission oil, coolant, air conditioning refrigerant, and a full
tank of fuel, while not loaded with either passengers or cargo.

FYI - VARAC had scales at MOSPOT, and SVRA had them at the Glen. Took advantage
of both with two different cars. Reminder, fuel up and stay in the car! I need
to redo one car as I got out and was observing.

Scott, what type of scales are you using? I never weighed my car on the 4
corners but curious about weight biasing for road racing. Thanks

finally completed the differential rebuild for the GT6 and got it back in the
car. bearing and gear lash set-up is incredibly time consuming - an iterative
process.
Next up - check out the balance of the car in preparation for Millville NJ with
VRG on Sept 18-20.

Early end of season for me, so took engine out for rebuild. Found two cracks in
stud bosses for head bolts. So now I am tearing down one of my spare engines to
use that block, which so far looks in really good shape.
Thanks, Mike

Getting the 3 ready for CVAR's TWS last run redo in a couple weeks.
Can't wait, I have not raced the 3 since February and we have another new TxFOT
member taking the drivers school.
Have a great Labor Day weekend.
