Like the song says: "same as it ever was".

When you're scared of the competition, you torque the rules to your 
advantage. ;-)

In SCCA club racing, you can use alternate transmissions and alternate 
gear sets, but you cannot run overdrive on a non-standard gearbox. God 
knows why... a T5 (or whatever) with a normal O/D 5th gear offers exactly 
NO advantage other than reliability.

Oddly, in SCCA Solo - when the various "Street" classes were created 
(about 10 or 12 years ago), they specifically exclude Triumphs. Gee, I 
wonder why?
