Tom,
Sorry, but I can't agree with that line of reasoning. One of the best
things about the SVRA is their adherence to "rules" which govern their
events. I like knowing that I'm racing against other 948s rather than
some tricked out 1400cc+ monster. I've never found the group to be
snobs. They run their events in a highly professional manner. They
promote originality and safety...nothing wrong with that.
I've got nothing good or bad to say about the other organizations as
I've had no personal experience with them.
