Here in the East we have the RCCA and EMRA running low key events including
club ford and a "run what you brung" formula class. (Last Fall at
Bridgehampton, we talked to a guy running an Indy Lights car!) MCSSC in
Chicagoland runs a similar venue.
Vintage, in my opinion, should include old cars, not necessarily obsolete
cars, like some groups are moving toward.
The VSCCA was under pressure a few years ago to add later cars, so the BoD
scanned the ads in a number of magazines and came up with over 200 VSCCA
legal cars for sale!
As I said on this thread over a year ago, I'm suspicious of any racing group
that is "for profit", as the incentive is to increase revenue and profit,
not perpetuate a style of racing that is an "endangered species".
