I agree wholeheartedly. The scariest race I ever had was when CSRG
gridded me with 8.1 liter Can-Am cars! My 1.1 liter F-Junior was just a
little outclassed. =:0 The Can-Am cars aren't much taller, but they're
a lot wider and faster. I raised a stink about it and they didn't do it
again. I haven't run the Enduro that CSRG offers, but in that event
they do mix all classes of cars. They generally get no more than 10-15
entries for that one. The CSRG Enduro caps off a weekend of regular
vintage racing, so the lack of Enduro entries is not a problem. The
Enduro cars do have to be entered for the regular weekend, too.
I suspect if you find somebody to run a 24-hour vintage enduro, they
will either have to mix all cars together, or put on separate events.
Getting enough entries could be a problem unless you mix cars. The only
way to keep all the cars separate would be to run the "24 hours" in
several stages over a lot more than 24 hours. The sedans race on
Tuesday, the open wheelers on Wednesday, etc.

Now who was screaming past who? ;=)
