Interesting thread . Too bad about the negative comments about SVRA.
I'm based out of Seattle and attend races all over the country . I usually
bring 2-4 cars to events .
I have found SVRA to be the most professional group of any of the Vintage
organizations. They have a published rule book . Anytime I've had a problem ,
it's because " I" have not read the rules. Pretty simple . Rick ( head of tech)
and his staff has always been supportive and they want cars on track . The
small and mid bore grids are important to Svra.
Just my 2 cents ;)
