[from Jim Hayes] Well that would certainly thin out the grids wouldn't it? It would also add an element of exclusivity to what we do and make the cubic dollar issue even more prominent. Just how many

[From Dave Page] This would do little or nothing to the formula car and sports racer grids. These cars were all purpose-built for racing and therefore have SOME racing history, no matter how unspect

Why not just limit $Vintage Racing$ to the people who can afford (and possibly even admire) the jewelry advertised in Vintage Motorsport? It would accomplish the same thing... "You cannot register f

One of the advantages of requiring a period race history would be to bring forth a stream of great creativity. That quality is already highly prized in collector car sales circles, where the most mun

JIm Hayes is right. If the purpose of vintage racing (as expressed by several sactioning bodies) is to preserve old race cars, then participation should be limited to those cars with verifiable conte

Agreed, and agreed. For sure, there would also suddenly be many cars with "histories" magically appearing whose owners/restorers must have majored in creative writing! I think the horse is out of the

My race car has a great history - all the way back to 1961. But it started vintage racing in 1995. Prior to that it street raced, posed, enabled benchracing, and endurance raced (after almost 5 years

I disagree. The purpose of vintage racing (in MY humble opinion) is to BOTH preserve old race cars, AND to recreate the era of vintage racing. So purpose built race cars should have been purpose buil

In my case, finding a car with a period race history would have been great, BUT, a) at the time I couldn't find one, and b) if I had, I probably couldn't have afforded it. But fortunately, CSRG allow

Of sailboat racing, it has been said that a group of gentlemen get together to race sailboats, then some sonofabitch wins. Any parallels here?

That may just sum it up perfectly. If it really matters that much to you to win, maybe vintage is not the arena you should be playing in... *8o) John A. Rollins, Vintage Race Coordinator, Florida Reg
