Ken,
I agree with every word you say.
And for the record I am a forever loyal supporter and fan of all Triumph racers and Triumph cars - Have been for over 40 years.
I support and cheer for all of them regardless of what parts they use to race well.
The 6 cylinder cars bring a slightly different set of arguments to the table.
Compared to “stock” the Webber option is great because it increases the potential fuel and air delivery from 2 small units to 6 large units.
A substantial modification always involving a custom intake manifold with added throats.
A production category modification that was simply not allowed for GT6 racecars in Any of the historic regulations that most vintage organizations claim to adhere to. 
Slowly, as the 3rd, 4th, and 5th decades of GT6 racing entered into a more modern era, some organizations started allowing cars with the “cheater carbs” for the GT6 platform. 
I don’t mind if people run them in any organization. 
I may soon be forced to run them myself.
And in my lifelong GT6 racing family they will always factually be referred to as “Cheater carbs” —As we’ve been calling them that for decades.

Walk through any pit at a vintage race event and see a significant % of cars, of all makes, with these installed.  In our club you bump up a category with Weber’s.  In 2022 it would be impossible to field a car with ALL Triumph parts inside the engine or transmission.  One of the FOT members just let everyone know about new and updated critical parts for the transmission.  I sure don’t consider those to be cheater parts.  I recall Kas telling stories about total engine rebuilds after every bloody race with stock TR parts.  You know, back in the day when he had a key to stock room of every part that Triumph supplied and it was his full time job to field a car.  Modern parts and oil keep our vintage cars on the track for seasons between rebuilds.  If it is not against the rules in the club you race in, it is not cheating.  Ken

DP normally runs in Group 7 with C Prod and B Sedan, but Groups 1 and 7 were combined for Hallett and the Group 2 racers agreed to let us run with them. We fit in well. Here is a youtube link to the Sunday morning race.
