Gack. So folks in other groups, who will be nature have less money can
better afford this carnage? Please, if you think car damage is acceptable, will
someone make sure I know what events/groups you run in ahead of time? If I want
to enter a demolition derby, I'll do so, but not with a car I want to preserve!
The charter for vintage racing is not to make money, or draw spectators. It's
to provide a venue to keep the old cars running and active.

And that's why there are series for banging up cars. Please keep it there!
