[Fot] alternatives to the SCCA?

[Joe Curry]

Since I don't race in the vintage events, I don't have a dog in the hunt but
that gives me a different perspective looking in from the outside.

I have for a long time been seeing exchanges concerning the various
sanctioning bodies having different specs for the cars and because of that
it is difficult to build a car that will fit in to all the groups.

Maybe it is time that someone step up to the plate and figure out how to
unite the various groups under a single governing body.  It won't be easy
since it will ultimately mean that some if not all cars will have to change
to fit into the new rules, so a lot of negotiating will have to be done to
accomplish the task.

At the same time, it would be a good opportunity to address this new issue
of bringing in additional classes that are being squeezed out of the SCCA.

Just a thought!

Joe C.

So what  I'm saying is, if in 1988 a 25-year-old car (1963) was vintage,
then 
why  in 2008 isn't a 1983 car -- or a car built. to 1983 specs --  vintage?
