My earlier comments were geared toward production cars since that was the
reference in the question about "evil" SCCA production cars. The
"thoroughbred" sports racers and formula cars really present their own sets
of vintage/historic issues.
We of all people should know - old race cars never die, sooner or later
thay all become "historic" or "vintage" racers.
