I think the only pre-requisit should be an abiding love for the
cars and their place in history... If your son wants to vintage race
let him... It will bring you both closer together. If he wants
more...excitment, then let him move on to the SCCA. As I
understand, it many SCCA racer moved on to vintage racing when the
BS and cash chase of the SCCA palled...
Geez, do you realize, you guys are makin' history with each lap you
drive!!!
