Bill et al,
The thoughts on allowing some cars in that might otherwise not qualify,
from my end, was based on a desire to allow the drivers, in my case of
mention, specifically JK Jackson and Glen Effinger in to play with us. I am
sure there are others on both sides of the "feud". Certainly it was not my
intent to have the full blown 1998 national level cars but rather to afford
the opportunity of some folks closely associated with the vintage efforts
to participate. JK has been into this for years and Glen has helped many of
us through the years.
The emphasis is more on participation rather than to create hazards by
putting cars in the field capable of capture speeds dangerously in excess.
I do understand your concerns, this is after all a vintage event and I
would not desire SVRA to go the course of another sanction body and allow
anything with a checkbook. I was thinking maybe a fender flare might not be
looked upon so strongly. Safety would of course be the top priority and I
in no way propose we field any cars that don't meet that.
