Hi Jamie,

Check out VDCA, https://www.vintagedrive.com/.  I=E2=80=99m down in SC and t=
his is the group I race with.  Tracks we race include Roebling Road, VIR, Ro=
ad Atlanta.  A real easy and friendly group.

You can find the rules on their website.  You are correct about the fibergla=
ss and fuel injection, probably the bumpers too.  They look too heavy anyway=
.

Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Chuck Gee
