No worries Mike.
In the USA, from what I understand, you have the NHRA for drag racing, the
SCCA for circuit racing, IMSA? for sports prototypes and CART? for single
seaters.
Here in the UK we have the MSA for drag racing, circuit racing for vintage
cars through to moderns, sports prototypes and single seaters up to F1.
Yep, one sanctioning body that controls the lot.
England is a small country that doesn't tolerate racing numbers on road
cars to the extent no self respecting enthusiast would even think of it.
It's a cultural difference I hadn't realised wasn't universal and I have been
to the USA on 3 occasions. Remember it wasn't that long ago a man with a
red flag had to walk in front of an automobile.

Seems like some states had a similar rule?

Please do not take me so seriously. I emailed simply for something to do.
I understand that everyone views things differently.
I will say that I am too much American to ever enjoy England ;^)).
