I don't see why they can't be classified right now as Historic, albeit =

Maybe it is coming time for Historics to split into two categories - one =
exclusively for cars with a racing history and another for old cars that =
are now being raced but without a racing history. The latter category =
would allow Group S Production Sports Cars and Group N Touring Cars, and =
HQs out to play at the same meeting - could be good for the spectator =
count? Of course, there is one flaw in this argument - aren't there =
Group J and K (pre-War) cars racing that are actually modern builds =
using old components?
