Hear!  Hear!

The Trans Am and Can Am cars are intimidating enough but the stock cars
REALLY give you the shakes as they go by.  They may be the best buy in
terms of "Bang for the Buck" and they do have real race history - just
not enough of it to suit my definition of Vintage.  They are indeed fun
to watch in their own sprint races but going door handle to door handle
with them is real scary!

Oh, yeah, and I think the "rich guys" have all the toys they want from
pre-war to prototype and beyond.  Just different forms of cars...  It's
all racing - but is it Vintage?
