Thanks Dick,
So I guess the first question is; could a '48 that is not eligible for
Vintage
(D/VGALT) because of having an OHV V8 run in Classic? (D/CGALT)
The second question is re the 'forever' rule. I figured I might run
first with
the V8 for some experience then build up an X* engine and go back to the
Vintage. Forever? Is that the same car as defined by a VIN? Same
body?
frame?...
I realize the idea but wouldn't the same be accomplished with a rule;
season by
season? (ie start the year in one class, stay in that class through the
rest of
that year.)
Cheers,
Rick
