Jim,
wow..thanks for being so nice. What has me, personally, riled up is the
"introduction" of late model NASCAR cars at "our" "vintage" events.. I
dont think it takes much thought (myopic as it may be) to see that these
cars, in particular, are not "vintage" cars. The organization I race with
most is called the Vintage Sports Car Drivers Association. Is a 1993 Ford
Thundbird "vintage"..is it a "sports car"? I doubt even the most myopic
person would see these cars as either,,yet they are invited and allowed to
race at VSCDA events. I just dont agree with this.
I think what Mr. Jackson was saying is there is probably a place for just
about any type of "retired" race car..but finding the proper place may be
difficult. After all, even "vintage" racing had a begining..sometime,
somewhere.
btw..I am curious, what would YOUR definition of "vintage" be?
Gary
