Hello Jack,

Thank you for the exact information, explaination, and web site direction I was 
hoping to get from the list.
I'm off to do the spec weight search.

Jeff, et al:

I do not intend to speak for all Vintage Racing Organizations so I will only 
speak with respect to SVRA and HSR.
.................
..............

The SVRA Supplemental Regulations for a make/model can be requested by 
emailing me (jwoesvra@aol.com). The HSR rules can be downloaded from the HSR 
website (www.hsrrace.com).

An excellent website is maintained be SOVREN (www.sovren.org) which has 
several GCR and PCS years.

I hope this answers your question. Remember, there are over twenty different 
Vintage Organizations in the USA and each does things differently. Check with 
the one you intend to race with. There is a Vintage Motorsports Council (VMC) 
but they have never been able to establish a common standard for car 
preparation amongst the various member organizations.

Good luck,

Jack Woehrle
SVRA Technical Director
