The real difference between clubs is, as Tom has intimated below, whether
they are a race-oriented club, or a car oriented club. The race guys, like
HSR, tend to emphasis fun through racing and find a home for just about
anything that shows up. People who like to develop cars potentials, and
like to run rather more modified cars, tend to find a home here.
Car guys like to see very authentic cars, like Bugeye sprites with 948cc
engines and Lotus 7's with drum brakes, and while they enjoy their racing
tend to be exclusionary towards people who like to add car development to
their racing experience.
They're both right - but tensions can run high when you want to go one way
and your club is going the other!

car guy buddies in VARAC)(My '61 Midget with 1275cc engine and wide tires is
still for sale...)
