Oh come on now.... Back In the Day, no one objected to that. Then again,
it may be because they didn't have "sissy cars" with power vented disk
brakes and sticky tires.
I thought the whole point of vintage racing was to recapture some of
that feel from when you could drive to the track, tape your headlights,
take off the bumpers and have a podium finish with a pretty much stock
car.
