[Fot] FOT Hallett racing video

[fubog1]

 The Webers are considered "cheater" largely because most vintage groups follow the old SCCA GCR to some degree, & rules were very specific about carbs, & many other things that are pretty much ignored today...They were never legal for Production classes.Having strict rules is a PITA sometimes but it levels the playing-field, without it becomes more of how much $$ do you want to throw at the car to gain that advantage & win?JMHO of course...

Where did the Almighty write on stone that no one can race in vintage with a Weber carburetor?  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.

CVAR allowed the D Production Triumphs to join in with the Group 2 Production cars for the race weekend at Hallett. 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.     https://youtu.be/wumRyOnyVOU
