[Fot] State of Vintage Racing

[Group44TR7 at aol.com]

Good Morning    
 
        What I am observing is that  some vintage racing groups are going 
down the same path as CanAm and FI by  allowing expensive modifications to take 
place. Is there really a need to have  Kevlar bodywork on a Spitfire or TR6 in 
vintage racing? 
 
        It has always struck me as  rather hypocritical that vintage groups 
wanted owners to use pre 1972 body  specification and have the true appearance 
of post 1972 cars destroyed. Now we  are putting Kevlar replacement panels to 
look like pre 1972 cars. 
 
        I have to wonder why the  people doing these modifications are not 
instead running SCCA. I am just as  guilty as the next person here, our engines 
are too modified. They are nothing  like what was raced in the 1970s and 
earlier.
 
        Vintage may be making  itself too expensive too.
