So what I'm saying is, if in 1988 a 25-year-old car (1963) was vintage, then why in 2008 isn't a 1983 car -- or a car built. to 1983 specs -- vintage? Surprise, it is! SVRA takes cars as late as 1998

Since I don't race in the vintage events, I don't have a dog in the hunt but that gives me a different perspective looking in from the outside. I have for a long time been seeing exchanges concerning

I didn't start this conversation to bring out a war. I don't vintage race because I want to race for the competition. If I go the vintage race route I'll just do lapping days with the local BMW club

Hey Bill, maybe my $20k car is worth more to me than the $1M car is to its owner. We're all not rich out there; I've encountered a bunch of Average Joes out there who are great people. Good point, th

I've made the same argument many times, that most of the people who really care about a 1959 Testarossa are dead or at least not racing, but I've discovered its not really true. There really was a go

JW you said that the Triumph event at WGI will allow current spec cars? Similar to the sprites at MO... Is it the size of this event that allows for this opportunity? Where will those cars be grouped

To some degree, but particularly with older vintage groups like the VSCCA out east they were ALWAYS vintage even before SCCA fell out of favor with some racers. The older vintage groups were made up
