[Fot] SVRA allows 5 speed transmission conversion!

[RACER BUD]

This is where the vintage racing gets very confusing, and can be very 
disheartning to those of us with Truly period correct cars...and of course, 
we have no National Governing Organization....I would bet that there is much 
more rule breaking/bending/outright cheating in vintage than there is in 
SCCA Regionals and Nationals....because there is no real controlling group..
